What to do in 11th Grade Fall Semester

from CollegeInColorado.org

Get in Gear! Now is the time to study hard. Do your homework every night, join study groups, and maintain good grades.

Talk to your teachers about testing schedules for:
ACT
PSAT
SAT and SAT Subject Tests
AP Exams

Make sure someone explains how the above tests can help you get into college.

What does you academic record and profile look like? Let your teacher help determine any visible weaknesses, and address them.

Start meeting with admissions counselors at the schools you would like to attend. Don't forget to follow up with a thank-you note!

Welcome to the Link Students and Parents Blogsite!

Welcome!

My intention for asking Jay to set up this blogsite is to be able to have a place where we as parents, students, and community can discuss and share information to help CCS students answer the question: College or What do I do after High School? Hopefully this will become a useful tool for all of us to use. Please feel free to post information you have concerning college or what to do after high school and certainly use the blogsite to ask questions. I look forward to the communication with everyone.

How to Leave Comments

Comments Welcome!

Welcome friends, family, and interested Crestonians. We've got a varied group looking at this blog. Some of our less techy friends and family wanted to know how to read and post comments. Even less techy friends didn't even notice the comments area (hey, dad).

There is a different 'Comments' section associated with each blog entry. To read them, first find the link at the bottom-right of any post. It will look like this: 0 Comments (The number, of course, indicates how many comments have been posted thus far... also, don't actually click on the one in this paragraph, find its cousin at the end of this post.)

If you click on that, a new window will open. Read and enjoy.

Now, for initiates who would like to join the illuminati, you can also participate in the blog by adding comments of your own. This is pretty easy. Once the window is open, you'll find 3 sections beneath the log of everyone else's comments:

There is a large box for you to type in your text.

Below the text area, there is a 'Choose your identity' section. You'll be asked to either sign-in (helpful if you want your name to show up) or login as anonymous. If you don't want to go through the hassle of creating an online account, then you can simply enable the 'anonymous' option. If you login and create an identity, you'll be stepped through the fairly simple process.

Finally, when you're done commenting, you can click the [Preview] button to see what your comments will look like, or the [Publish] button to save your comments.

Other readers will be able to see what you wrote, so be nice. Also, we will be moderating these comments just in case, and will not publish anything rude or abusive.

OK, ready? The link you need to click on is right below this sentence, and to the right. Give it a try.
