Preparations for: 12th graders 11th graders 10th graders 9th graders 8th graders 7th graders 6th graders

Students

• Visit the school counselor in the fall and ask the counselor to help you select classes that will prepare you for college.
• Take English and mathematics; such as pre-algebra. Try to earn "A"s and "B"s and put extra effort into English and math.

Families

• Ask the school counselor if your child is reading and doing math at grade level work.
• Start saving for college. Why? Even a few dollars a week will impress upon your children the importance of making a commitment to get a college education. Help your kids find ways to earn money (like babysitting, yard work, odd jobs) so they can start saving part of their earnings for college. Consider opening a college savings account at ScholarShare.
