| CSLF
to Launch Parent College Planning E-Tips |
| Beginning fall 2008,
the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation will be offering online
monthly college planning tips for parents. We will offer e-subscriptions
to parents of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each
edition will cover timely information targeted to parents of students
by grade level. For instance, junior parents will receive tips
on how to plan a college visit, advice on how to assist in the
college search, and reminders of when students should begin registering
for admissions tests. Parents of seniors will receive tips on how
to assist students with the college application process and information
on financial aid. This is an exciting new endeavor. Parents interested
in receiving this Parent College Planning E-Tips can sign up online
at www.cslf.com. |

| Setting Goals |
| Regardless
of your freshman year academics or discipline issues, this is a
new year and a new start! You can change things and we
can help you set goals to do so. Please see your guidance counselor if you
need assistance. |
|
|
| Taking the CAPT |
| This
year you will be taking the CAPT (Connecticut Academic Performance
Test) in March. This test is mandated for every sophomore in the
state of Connecticut. Performance on this test affects graduation
requirements. It is therefore important to do your best. The test
covers four areas: science, math, interdisciplinary, and writing.
If you "miss goal" on any area of the test in tenth grade, you
can retake that section during your junior and/or senior year. |
|
|
| Zero in on Activities |
| Sophomores
should be zeroing in on activities they
want to pursue for the remainder of their high school career. Colleges
are more impressed with the quality, depth, and length of time
associated with a student's involvement in an activity, as opposed
to a long list of short-lived activities. |
