Happy Spring!
This Wednesday (March 27) was SAT School Day and the College and Career Planning Team visited schools across all five boroughs to provide support and gather feedback. Thank you for all your efforts to ensure students and staff were prepared for another successful administration. With College Decision Day on the horizon (May 1), your offices will continue to buzz as seniors bring in their acceptance letters. College Decision Day aims to support our seniors to make informed postsecondary decisions, celebrate their plans, and encourage younger students and families to start planning now. Refer to this tip sheet from the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) to help students think about the best financial fit and factors to consider when taking out loans. Visit College Decision Day Resources for sample activities, checklists, templates, posters, and other planning resources. Thank you once again for supporting our students’ college and career dreams and congratulations on another successful application season!
