For All Students-
Continue to take care of your grades-- Use
family access to check your grades regularly
and use your Falcon Planner
to keep track of daily assignments and responsibilities.
Review
the tips on the "Helping Your Student Succeed" section of the PHS
Counseling
web site.
Revise your H.S. and Beyond
plan-- Study the PHS Planning Guide so that you consider
classes you
want to take in the senior year so you meet all high school and college
entrance requirements (if appropriate). This also allows you to
prepare for your
eventual career.
Consider taking the ASVAB--
Information about the test can be found in the "Testing"
link on the PHS
Counseling Web Site. To register, please go the the career center.
For Students Planning To
Attend College-
Take the PSAT test in October-- Registration information will be
available in the
Counseling Center in late September.
Take an SAT and an ACT in the
spring-- You can find information for each test on the
"Testing"
link on the PHS Counseling Web Site.
Check the requirements for attending 4-year colleges-- Review the link
"Choosing And
Applying For College" on the PHS Counseling Web Site.
Consider visiting colleges in
the spring while they are in session. Each college has their
own
visitation process-- please see the web site of your intended college
for information.
Review the "Financial
Aid/Scholarship" link on the PHS Counseling Web Site. You may
want
to prepare your scholarship portfolio in the spring to prepare for
applying for
scholarships at the beginning of the senior year. If
you want to get an estimate of
how much financial aid you may qualify
for, visit

Plan for your Activity Sheet--
Continue doing things such as participation in clubs and
sports, serving in
leadership positions, community service, and enrichment activities such
as classes and summer experiences. Keep track of these and the
honors/awards you
earn as well.
