Guidance Department

This is the first of many “Junior News & Notes” that you will receive over the next several months.  Included in each “edition” will be news about colleges visiting Cathedral, Open Houses, College Fairs, scholarships, deadlines, and other pertinent information pertaining to the college process…but first some information about the Guidance Office and its procedures: 

§         The Guidance Office opens at 7:30 a.m.

§         College Videos & CD’s may be borrowed for 2-3 days; sign the index card in the box and give it to Ms. O’Neill (the Guidance secretary).

§         View books should not be taken from the Guidance Office. When we have more than one copy, you may take it for your use.
 

§         When the Guidance Office receives applications, they are filed in alphabetical order in the black file cabinet near the water fountain.  You may take applications from this file (one copy per college).
 

• There are three bulletin boards which you should check on a regular basis – one lists Open Houses, another lists scholarships, and the third has other information which arrives in the Guidance Office after News & Notes has been posted.
   
• Remember, if you need to see your counselor, drop by and ask for an appointment.
   
• College representatives will be visiting Cathedral. If a “college” is visiting during a class period and you would like to meet with the representative, you must sign up with your counselor one day before the visit.
   

The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) is hosting a National College Fair at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on Sunday, April 13, from 12 noon – 4 pm.  The Jacob Javits Center is located on the West Side in Manhattan.  Visit www.nacacnet.org/NCF for more information.
