REMINDER TO JUNIORS (REMINDER TO SOPHOMORES - PLEASE SCROLL DOWN) Dear Juniors and Junior Parents, We would like to take this opportunity to invite you and your daughters to attend College Night at SKA. It will take place on Wednesday evening, February 3rd, 2010 at 7 PM. The program will be an informational meeting for Juniors and their parents with Dr. Tzipora Meier and Mrs. Susan Sachs, SKA’s College Guidance Counselor. At that time, we will discuss the college application process and implications for the senior year. We will review topics such as standardized testing (SAT I, SAT II and ACT), Early Decision/Action, the actual application (individual school application and common application), co-curricular and summer activities, etc. At the end of the program there will be a separate meeting with those parents who wish to hear about merit scholarships, scholarship programs, applications to the “Ivies,” etc. We have begun meeting individually with the Juniors. We encourage you to call our office to set up parent meetings as well. You can reach Mrs. Sachs in the College Guidance office at 516-374-7195 ext. 127, or Dr. Meier at ext. 123. We look forward to greeting you at 7 PM for a content-filled evening, and to meeting with each of you during the second half of our school year. Have a wonderful vacation! Sincerely, Dr. Tzipora Meier Mrs. Susan Sachs Associate Principal College Guidance Counselor REMINDER TO SOPHOMORES: Dear Sophomore Parents,
We are conducting an important evening for Sophomore parents on Wednesday, February 3rd, which is crucial for your daughter's academic growth and personal development.
At 8:00 PM, we will begin the evening with an hour long Parent Orientation focusing on the Junior year at SKA. At that time, we will discuss the various courses students can take in the 11th grade, review elective options and begin preparing a college profile for your daughter. A parallel session will take place with your daughters during the school day. Our College Guidance Department will then offer some information regarding required standardized testing for college admissions, using either the SAT or ACT exam.
At 9:00 PM, we will break for Maariv and refreshments. Due to the value and importance of this evening, we anticipate 100% participation.
We thank you for your cooperation and look forward to personally greeting you on Wednesday evening, February 3rd! Sincerely, Mrs. Helen Spirn Principal |
