Video recording of the current 11th grader post secondary information night hosted by BHS School Counseling Department.
A
A
All
right
good
evening,
everyone
or
our
11th
grade
families
welcome
to
college
information
session.
I
am
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
me
lauren
mcbride,
I
am
the
interim
principal
here
at
bhs,
I'm
going
to
be
turning
this
program
over
to
our
amazing
counselors,
karen
prouty
and
tony
settle
and
with
special
guest
star,
andy
barker
from
city
and
lake,
but
I
just
wanted
to
do
a
quick
welcome
to
you
all
this
evening.
A
This
has
been
quite
a
year
and
we
recognize
that
that
this
is
not
necessarily
the
year
that
we
had
anticipated
back
in
august,
but
here
we
are,
and
we
are
about
two
weeks
away
from
moving
into
our
new
home
at
downtown
bhs.
This
is
an
incredibly
exciting
time.
You
know
we
we
have
movers
that
have
now
moved
about
three
or
four
truckloads
worth
of
stuff
over,
so
this
is
happening
and
it's
it's
really
exciting.
A
So
now,
not
only
will
we
be
able,
after
february
break,
to
come
and
be
together
in
person
in
our
hybrid
model
more
days
a
week.
You
all
are
also
about
to
embark
on
a
really
exciting
time.
For
many
of
you,
which
is
thinking
about
ending
your
11th
grade
year,
entering
into
downtown
bhs
next
year
as
seniors
and
then
thinking
about
what
the
future
holds,
so
we
are
really
excited
for
you
to
be
here
tonight.
A
B
Great
thanks
so
much
lauren.
I
appreciate
your
words.
I
am
karen
prouty
and
I'm
one
of
the
school
counselors
at
burlington
high
school.
Many
of
you
will
know
me
either
in
my
role
as
school,
counselor
at
champlain,
elementary
school
or
perhaps-
and
my
hope
is
that
some
of
my
students
and
families
are
on
this
call
tonight.
B
C
B
Great
thanks,
tony
and
I
will
be
stopping
periodically
just
to
kind
of
check
in
with
tony
he'll,
be
my
gauge
for
the
audience.
It's
really
difficult
to
do
these
in-depth,
really
important
presentations
and
not
be
able
to
kind
of
see
the
crowd
and
get
a
feel
for
where
everyone's
at
this
is.
Where
you
know,
non-verbal
communication
is
so
critical
and
we're
just
going
into
it
without
being
able
to
see
any
of
you.
So
tony
will
help
as
I
check
in
with
him.
B
We'll
also
talk
about
and
give
some
recommendations
in
terms
of
how
you
can
use
your
time
in
the
summer.
Most
often
students
will
say.
Oh
you
know,
I
don't
know
about
summer
work,
or
this
is
really
fun
work
though,
and
counselors
are
available
to
students
who
want
to
be
looking
at
schools,
whether
that's
virtually
or
in
person,
or
really
thinking
about
their
college
essay.
So
we'll
go
into
depth
with
some
kind
of
fun
summer
things
that
you
can
do
deanna
bradley.
B
Our
dual
enrollment
coordinator
will
not
be
joining
us
tonight,
however
she's
a
wonderful
asset
to
our
community
and
an
integral
part
of
our
team.
She
is
the
person
that
you
see
if
you
are
interested
in
a
dual
enrollment
class
or
classes,
you
receive
two
vouchers
and
also
early
college,
so
we'll
make
sure
to
talk
with
you
more
about
those
two
pieces.
B
It's
also
a
time
to
talk
about
community
service
and
internships
and
job
shadows
that
are
going
to
be
available
to
you.
We
will
dig
in
just
a
little
bit
to
the
college
search
process.
We
want
to
be
able
to
talk
with
you
just
kind
of
broadly
about
what
kinds
of
things
you
can
be
thinking
about,
as
well
as
some
searching
that
you
can
do
that.
Good
research
now
starts,
and
we
will
talk
to
you
about
the
college
application
process.
B
We
also
have
andy
barker
with
us
tonight
from
burlington
city
and
lake,
and
I
love
giving
him
some
some
time,
because
he
is
part
of
an
amazing
program
that
we
want
your
students
to
know
about
it's
a
great
opportunity,
so
we'll
leave
some
time
for
andy
at
the
end,
and
it
is
just
past
6
30
at
6
38,
and
this
is
gonna-
go
till
about
eight
o'clock.
So
again
lots
of
information
for
you,
okay,
tony.
How
are
we
doing
before
we
launch
into
the
first
slide.
B
So
this
is
a
journey
and
I
think
if
you
look
back
and
and
I'm
hoping
that
there's
lots
of
students
on
this
call
again,
I
can't
see,
but
thinking
back
to
when
you
entered
kindergarten
and
how
you
felt
about
that
time
and
how
you
felt,
when
you
transitioned
from
fifth
grade
to
sixth
grade
and
then
how
you
felt
when
you
transitioned
to
the
high
school
and
now
you
are
in
eleventh
grade
it
has
been
a
long
journey
so
far.
The
great
thing
is:
is
that
there's
so
much
more
to
come?
B
So
where
are
you
and
what
have
you
done
already?
What
I
find
in
working
with
my
11th
grade
students-
and
I
just
have
begun
my
11th
grade
meetings-
is
that
everyone's
kind
of
in
a
different
place
and
that's
okay.
We
as
counselors,
want
to
help
and
support
you
and
we
meet
you
wherever
you
are
at.
So
what
you
can
be
thinking
about
is
where,
where
are
you
and
what
have
you
already
done
in
terms
of
academics?
So
thinking
about
your
high
school
transcript,
what
classes
have
you
taken
thinking
about
activism?
B
What
a
year
for
activism
we
have
heard
from
so
many
students
about
the
importance
of
being
in
school
and
the
the
move
out
of
bhs
to
downtown
burlington
high
school,
so
activism?
What
have
you
done?
How
have
you
spoken
out?
How
have
you
stood
up
for
what
you
believe
is
in
your
best
interests?
Athletics,
so
we've
had
kind
of
this
bumpy
road
in
the
past
year.
As
far
as
athletics,
have
you
been
able
to
participate
in
athletics?
B
Some
of
you
have
some
of
you
maybe
didn't
in
the
spring
when
everything
was
cancelled.
However,
we're
in
a
really
good
place
with
athletics
now
and
we
are
cruising
along
we're
in
phase
three,
so
lots
of
things
have
opened
up
artistry,
so
many
of
you
have
immersed
yourself
in
music
or
art,
and
you've
spent
a
lot
of
your
time
at
bhs
being
very
involved
with
art,
and
we
want
you
to
continue
all
of
those
things
so
remember
this
is
your
journey.
B
So
post-secondary
options
about
70
to
75
percent
of
burlington
high
school
students
graduate
and
go
on
to
four-year
schools.
That's
really
a
very
high
percentage
and
it
it
keeps
increasing.
When
I
started
many
years
ago
at
bhs
it
was
around
70
percent
of
students,
so
we
are
seeing
an
increase
in
in
the
four-year
colleges
and
students
wanting
to
participate.
There's
also,
two
years
two-year
colleges
that
includes
technical
colleges.
I
was
speaking
to
a
student
today
and
he's
like
I
want
to
be
an
electrician.
B
Well,
I
think
that's
great,
so
we
started
talking
about
that
and
looking
at
the
vermont
tech
center.
So
there's
there's
a
lot
of
options
for
the
trades
as
well,
there's
also
apprenticeships
and
certification
programs.
There's
a
link
that
you
will
see
in
the
powerpoint
that
has
some
information
feel
free
to
dig
into
that.
A
little
bit
more
there's
also
been
a
lot
of
uptick
with
regard
to
gap
year
programs,
students
are
really
wanting
something
in
between
high
school
and
college,
and
that's
great
because
there's
a
lot
of
options.
B
About
is
what
are
the
benefits,
what
are
the
drawbacks
and
and
what
would
be
the
options
for
a
gap
year?
There's
a
lot
of
good
data
out
there
that
supports
students
taking
gap
years
and
in
fact
showing
that
there's
more
success
in
staying
in
school
for
four
years,
when
there
is
a
gap
year,
there's
also
the
military
and
work,
and
so
we
as
counselors
want
to
support
all
of
those
options.
B
So
this
summer,
this
is
what
I
had
said
when
I
was
reviewing
the
agenda
that
there
are
some
summer
things
that
you
can
do,
but
they're
not
arduous,
and
they
really
should
be
fun
for
you
because
remember
that,
like
this,
this
is
your
future.
This
is
your
journey
and
you
know
we
want
you
to
own
that
and
drive
that,
and
we
are
here
as
the
supporters
we're
here,
to
provide
that
guidance
for
you.
B
So
it's
really
a
time
to
explore
interests
and
there's
so
many
different
ways
you
can
explore
interests,
you
can
volunteer,
you
can
work
at
a
camp.
I
have
a
lot
of
students
that
go
to
camp
over
the
summer
and
they're
like
a
camp
counselor
in
training.
I
think
those
are
great
options.
Sometimes
students
have
the
opportunity
to
do
international
study.
B
It's
also
a
time
you
can
visit
schools
now.
I
think
this
summer,
honestly
could
be
still
a
little
tricky.
I
know
colleges
are
offering
virtual
tours.
Many
schools
still
are
not
offering
in-person
tours.
It's
definitely
worth
checking
in
with
colleges
to
see.
If
you
can
do
a
visit,
because
it's
it's
very
individualized,
it's
you
know
based
on
the
college
collagen
and
what
they're
experiencing
at
this
time.
B
B
You
know
we're
not
saying
complete
your
entire
essay
over
the
summer.
What
we're
saying
is
start
thinking
about
it
start
organizing
it
get
your
thoughts
on
paper
and
coming
in
your
senior
year
with
a
solid
draft
is
exactly
where
you
want
to
be
now
if
it's
finished,
and
you
want
to
run
it
by
a
couple
teachers,
preferably
one
of
your
english
teachers
during
the
months
of
september
and
october.
That
is
a
great
idea.
B
B
B
These
letters
are
becoming
even
more
and
more
important,
as
colleges
are
looking
at
students
differently.
Standardized
tests
are
being
weighted
differently.
This
is
the
time
of
covid.
Colleges
really
want
to
know
who
you
are
and
who
can
speak
to?
Who
you
are
the
teachers
and
the
people
that
you've
surrounded
yourself
by
so
those
letters
of
recommendation
are
really
important.
Many
schools
will
take
more
than
two
letters,
though
it
it's
traditionally
two
letters,
so
what
your
counselor
will
help
you
with
is.
B
When
you
develop
your
your
school
college
list,
you
will
see
that
each
college
asks
for
their
own
kind
of
set
of
letters
of
recommendation.
You
cannot
exceed
what
they
ask
for
because
they
simply
won't
read
it
okay.
So
it's
important
that
once
you
identify
your
schools
that
you
organize
yourself
with
which
schools
want
how
many
letters
of
recommendation
also
people
who
are
writing
your
letters
of
recommendation.
B
B
B
Slide:
okay,
so
senior
year
we
have
just
begun,
or
actually
I
can
speak
for
myself.
I've
just
begun
because
I
have
quite
a
few
11th
grade
students.
I've
started
junior
meetings.
I've
only
had
a
couple,
so
there's
still
lots
of
time
for
everyone
to
meet
with
me,
and
I
do
want
meetings
with
all
of
my
11th
grade
students
as
well
as
all
the
other
counselors.
B
B
B
Maybe
you
find
that
you're
going
to
have
bcl
in
your
schedule
and
so
looking
at
what
courses
you
need
in
order
to
graduate,
but
then
also
looking
at
the
classes
that
are
going
to
continue
to
be
demanding,
continue
to
be
rigorous
and
continue
to
be
an
area
of
interest
for
you,
it's
really
as
a
12th
grade
student
moving
into
you
know
whether
it's
college
or
the
world
of
work
or
whatever
you
decide.
We
want
you
thinking
and
participating
in
things
that
you're
really
passionate
about.
B
B
Champlain
college
and
st
michael's
college
and
the
state
of
vermont
allows
for
students
in
11th
and
12th
grade
to
take
two
free
college
classes,
so
you
get
to
earn
high
school
credit
while
simultaneously
also
earning
college
credit,
and
this
is
a
great
kind
of
head
start
on
your
college
degree.
If
that's
the
path
that
you
choose,
I
highly
recommend
it
to
all
of
my
students,
because
it
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
experience
what
it's
like
to
be
in
a
college
classroom
and
on
a
college
campus.
B
B
In
fact,
you
have
to
wait
until
the
18th
to
know
what
classes
are
going
to
be
offered
and
miss
bradley
can
help
sign
you
up,
so
you
can
connect
with
your
counselor
and
your
counselor
can
help
bridge
that,
for
for
you,
signing
up
with
miss
bradley
there's
also
what's
called
early
college
and
early
college
is
a
little
different.
Early
college
allows
seniors
to
take
a
full
year
of
college
classes
while
completing
their
high
school
diploma.
B
B
I
think
most
of
them
still
had
their
fourth
year
of
english
that
they
had
to
complete,
and
then
one
student
had
a
pe
that
they
were
very
unhappy
that
they
had
to
take
in
early
college,
but
basically
they
participate
in
a
college
program,
so
it
could
be
northern
vermont
university.
It
could
be
ccv,
there's
vtc
in
the
vast
early
college
program
that
application
is
open
and
closes
may
first,
but
I
think
ccv
now
is
taking.
It
opens.
C
Let
me
jump
in
on
this,
so
a
couple
changes
priority
application
deadline
is:
may
1st
they're
having
a
very
quick
turnaround
on
decisions
and
everything
is
submitted
electronically
this
year,
which
makes
it
a
lot
easier
letters
of
wreck
principle,
sign,
offs,
etc.
So
you're
going
to
hear
back
from
them
within
two
weeks.
You
can
apply
now
and
you
can
find
out
quickly
whether
you're
going
to
be
admitted
for
next
year.
The
final
deadline
for
ccv
is
still
august.
1St.
B
Great
thank
you
for
that
tony.
I
knew
that
that
change
just
came
into
our
office
recently,
so
those
deadlines
are
important
to
take
note
of
please
contact
deanna
bradley.
Her
email
is
listed
on
the
bottom
of
this
slide.
Also
counselors
again,
we
can
connect
you
with
ms
bradley
if
you
have
an
interest
in
dual
enrollment
or
early
college,
okay.
B
I
have
some
students
right
now
that
are
working
in
the
elementary
schools
and
they're
really
excited
about
education
and
working
in
elementary
schools.
So
they
have
really
enjoyed
that
experience
and
and
learned
a
lot.
So
community
service
is
a
little
different.
Now
with
covid.
We
had
in
the
past
lots
of
students
who
went
to
the
hospital
and
would
volunteer
there
and
they
really
benefited
from
that
experience,
and
it's
just
not
possible
right
now,
so
we
are
always
searching
as
counselors
for
volunteer
options
for
students.
B
B
Those
are
harder
kind
of
positions
to
to
fill,
but
we
we
really
want
students
to
be
out
in
the
community
and
exploring
that's
one
of
the
greatest
things
about
bcl,
burlington
city
and
lake
is.
Is
that
it's
a
place-based
program,
and
so
students
really
learn
so
much
about
the
community
that
they're
in
and
of
course,
they
learn
so
much
about
themselves
what
their
strengths
are.
What
their
challenges
are.
We
do
ask
that
students
complete
a
40
40
hour
community
service
program.
That's
part
of
the
graduation
requirement.
B
Students
can
complete
it
at
any
time
throughout
their
four
years.
I
recommend
10
10
hours
a
year
so
that
it
doesn't
build
up,
but
I
do
have
some
seniors
that
are
doing
all
40
right
now.
I
guess
that's
your
choice,
but
students
are
really
encouraged
to
seek
out
opportunities
and,
and
non-profit
organizations
can
be
really
helpful
too,
and
also
our
boys
and
girls
club
and
the
king
street
youth
center
are
always
looking
for
volunteers.
B
Yeah,
so
I
would
reach
out
to
your
counselor
and
that
your
counselor
can
they
can
speak
with
me
because
you
know
again,
I
I
work.
I've
work.
I've
been
in
the
district,
almost
I
think,
24
25
years,
so
I
have
some
connections
at
the
other
schools,
and
so
I'm
I'm
happy
to
work
with
the
counselor
or
student
and
in
helping
to
forge
that
connection.
B
Okay,
so
now
we
get
into
the
like
the
nitty-gritty
of
college
stuff,
which
is
great.
So
where
do
you
start
in
this
process?
So
first
I
want
to
say
that
this
is
a
time
that
can
be
really
exciting.
It
can
also
feel
a
little
daunting
and
overwhelming,
and
and
can
create
some
anxiety
for
students
and
for
families,
and
what
I
want
to
say
in
my
experience
is
that
this
is
a
complex
process
that
we,
as
counselors
work
really
hard
to
break
down
into
small
chunks,
so
that
students
don't
feel
really
overwhelmed.
B
So
this
is
kind
of
the
first
discussion.
It's
february
of
your
11th
grade
year.
We've
got
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us.
I
want
to
assure
you,
though,
we
have
plenty
of
time.
So
where
do
you
start?
I
think
this
is
the
easiest
place
to
start.
Is
you
think
about
where
you
want
to
be?
In
my
conversations
with
students?
B
Also,
I
have
to
say
in
vermont
our
winters
can
be
long
and
cold,
so
I'm
never
surprised
when
students
say
to
me
I
just
I
have
to
go
someplace
warmer,
so
I
think
students
have
a
really
good
idea
about
geographic
location.
Now,
whether
or
not
that's
realistic,
that's
a
whole
other
conversation,
usually
one
that
we
get
to.
Also.
I
encourage
students
to
look
at
the
size
of
the
campus
and
what
the
student
enrollment
is.
So
what
is
the
teacher
student
ratio?
B
B
B
Every
school
is
kind
of
taking
a
similar,
yet
different
stance
on
standardized
tests.
So
it's
important
when
doing
your
research
that
you're
looking
to
see
is
this
a
school
that
requires
tests.
Is
this
a
school
that's
optional?
And
if
it's
optional,
how
do
I
know
if
I
want
to
share
my
tests
course?
So
those
are
good
conversations
to
have
with
your
counselor
also
in
terms
of
selectivity.
B
So
what
we
encourage
in
our
office
is
that
students
select
a
range
of
schools,
meaning
schools
that
are
going
to
be
safety,
schools,
schools
that
are
going
to
be
target
schools
and
schools
that
are
going
to
be
reached
schools
so
often
when
I
say
that
to
students
they
say-
and
you
may
be
thinking
this.
How
do
I
know
it's
a
safety
school?
How
do
I
know
it's
a
target
school?
How
do
I
know
it's
a
re?
B
What's
a
reach
school,
so
really
we
use
the
only
good
data
that
we
have,
which
is
a
gpa
and,
in
some
cases,
standardized
test
scores,
and
then
we
also
look
at
what
is
the
admission
percentage
so
for
some
schools,
let's
use
brown,
for
example,
I
think
they
admit
maybe
it's
seven
percent,
seven
percent
of
their
applicants
and
then
we
have
other
schools.
Castleton
is
a
school
that
I
think
admits
anywhere
from
like
90
and
above
so
you
have
to
look
at
those
admit,
admittance
percentages
to
see
how
many
students.
B
What
we
ask
of
students
from
kind
of
this
point
on
is
that
you
start
some
of
that
good
research
yourself
by
looking
at
location
looking
at
size,
looking
at
majors
different
programs
that
schools
offer
also
cost.
I
know
that
it
may
feel
kind
of
strange
for
parents
and
families
to
have
that
be
kind
of
secondary
to
this
process.
B
It
really
needs
to
be
because
schools
and
there's
there's
aid,
there's
scholarships,
there's
grants
you
don't
necessarily
know,
what's
going
to
be
offered
until
you've
been
accepted
and
received
your
award
letter,
so
the
financial
part
does
come
later.
This
is
a
really
hot
time
for
seniors
in
filling
out.
Scholarships
so
expect
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
scholarship
searching
in
the
second
semester
of
your
senior
year.
B
B
B
Student
athletes
sell
intramural
club,
ncaa
division.
Those
are
all
things
that
our
student
athletes
are
thinking
about
and
searching
for.
I'm
working
with
one
student
right
now
who
has
an
extreme
gift
and
passion
for
football,
and
so
football
and
his
interest
in
programming
really
drove
where
he
was
applying
to
school.
B
B
So
there's
there's
lots
of
options
when
you
are
looking
for
schools
and
you
have
to
really
think
about
what's
important
to
you,
what
are
you
looking
for
as
counselors?
We
can
help
you
sort
through
that,
but
we
certainly
can't
tell
you
what
pro
what
what
program
you
should
be
in
or
what
college
you
should
apply
to,
or
what
sports
teams
you
should
be
looking
at,
but
we're
here
to
have
those
conversations
with
you.
B
B
There
are
opportunities
for
you
to
get
into
naviance
you've.
You
all
had
a
naviance
account.
You
may
not
remember
your
your
code
or
your
password
to
get
in
counselors
can
help
you
with
that.
I
would
love
at
my
junior
meetings
to
say
get
into
your
naviance
account,
so
I'm
going
to
say
it
here
that
you
should
be
getting
into
your
naviance
account,
because
there's
great
surveys
that
you
can
take
there's
information
that
our
seniors
are
accessing
right
now
around
scholarship
information.
B
It's
also
a
place
that
we
can
loop
in
the
adults
at
home
so
that
they
can
access
your
account.
So
naviance
is
is
a
great
tool
and
one
that
you'll
be
learning
a
lot
more
about
on
this
page,
there's
a
number
of
different
search
websites
that
you
can
go
to
again,
you're
going
to
have
you're
going
to
have
access
to
this
powerpoint.
So
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
these,
but
there's
a
lot
of
them.
We
like
to
use
big
future.
B
B
Usually
schools
want
you
to
book
in
in
in
advance,
so
remember
to
call
ahead.
Don't
forget
our
canadian
schools.
I
love
our
canadian
schools.
However,
right
now
I
I
think
we
still
can't
get
into
canada.
So
again,
the
hope
is
that
will
shift
looking
at
college
websites
looking
at
their
admissions
page
and
connecting
with
admissions
often
colleges
will-
and
this
is
stated
in
naviance
too-
they
will
say
whether
or
not
interviews
are
optional
or
if
they
are
required.
B
I
think
it's
always
a
really
good
idea
to
interview
with
someone.
I
think,
first
of
all,
it's
great
practice,
but
I
think
that
it
also
can
give
you
an
opportunity
to
have
another
a
better
sense
of
the
school.
You
can
ask
questions
again.
Some
of
those
are
virtual
at
this
point,
but
I
do
recommend
it
traveling
to
see
the
school
during
summers
during
vacations.
C
C
There'll
be
links
to
other
websites,
so
you
can
also
access.
Another
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
was
we
have
something
called
rugs
guide
which
lists
schools
that
have
particularly
strong
programs
in
different
majors.
So
if
you
have
an
idea
of
what
you
want
to
study,
you
can
get
an
extensive
list
of
schools
that
offer
that
and
there'll
be
schools
that
you
are
not
even
aware
of
the
schools
are
delineated
by
competitiveness
of
getting
into
it
by
location
by
school
size.
So
that's
a
really
nice
tool.
C
The
other
thing
that
I
want
to
go
back
to,
because
this
is
the
biggest
question
we
get
is
cost.
So
we
talked
about.
How
are
you
going
to
pay
for
college?
The
main
thing
I
want
to
emphasize
is
vermont
student
assistance
corporation
vsac.
They
are
a
tremendous
support.
They
will
meet
with
you.
They
will
help
you
with
all
of
your
questions
on
how
to
pay
for
college,
so
you're
gonna
become
good
friends
with
those
people.
I
just
want
to
mention
that.
Okay,
thanks
karen.
B
This
is
kind
of
pending.
You
know
we
haven't
gotten
an
exact
answer,
but
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
controversy
around
taking
the
online
act
test,
so
we'll
wait
and
see
what
happens
with
that
tests
are
given
on
saturday
mornings.
We
haven't
had
much
luck
with
with
a
ct
or
sat
test
because
of
kovid.
I
know
that
there
have
been
some
test
sites
at
rice
and
they
actually
had
success
in
administering
the
test.
B
But
what
I
have
found
for
almost
the
past
year
is
that
most
of
the
tests
have
been
cancelled,
which
again
that's
why
the
the
schools
had
to
really
pivot
to
to
being
test
optional,
because
so
many
students
didn't
have
them.
But
again,
the
hope
is
that
that's
going
to
change,
you
should
be
going
into
your
college
board
account
and
seeing
if
there
are
sat
options
and
going
into
act
to
see
if
there
are
any
act
options
and
you
you
could
sign
up.
B
I
like
juniors
to
take
a
spring
test
and
then
sometime
summer
and
then
fall
again.
I
really
recommend-
and
this
isn't
for
everyone,
but
I'll
just
put
it
out
there-
that
students
can
take
an
a-c-t,
they
can
take
an
s-a-t,
they
can
see
how
they
scored
and
what
tests
they
felt
more
comfortable
with
and
then
retake
that
test
in
the
fall
of
their
senior
year.
B
But
test
costs
a
lot
of
money,
so
you
may
or
may
not
choose
to
do
that.
There
are
about
fifty
dollars.
We
do
have
fee
waivers
that
are
available
for
students
who
are
receiving
free
and
reduced
lunch,
so
feel
free.
If
that
applies
to
you
that
you
can
reach
out
to
our
office,
and
we
will
try
to
accommodate
that.
C
One
point
I
want
to
make
about
signing
up
for
the
sat
test
on
college
board.
They
still
list
bhs
as
a
test
site.
Please
don't
pick
us
as
we
are
not
going
to
be
giving
the
test.
Rice
is
slated
to
give
the
test
in
approximately
a
month,
but
keep
that
in
mind
if
you're
signing
up
for
the
s.a.t
test
on
college
board,.
B
Okay,
so
many
students
ask
what's
the
difference
between
the
a.c.t
and
the
sat?
The
act
is
very
much
content
based.
It's
meant
to
test
skills
that
are
learned
in
school.
It
rewards
the
fast
reader.
It
really
works
well
for
students
that
can
do
their
math
in
their
head.
Someone
who
enjoys
science
and
using
tables
and
graphs
there's
there's
a
lot
of
serious
time
pressure.
The
sat
is
a
reasoning
test,
so
it
combines
info
and
allows
you
to
to
analyze
real
world
problems
like
doing
math
by
hand.
B
Someone
who's
good
at
analyzing
texts
in
english
class
would
be
more
prone
to
do
better
on
the
sat,
if
you
like,
informational
graphics,
and
you
can
answer
questions
using
data
from
charts
and
graph
graphics.
So
it
really
is
personal
to
you.
That
is
why
I
recommend
you
take
one
act
test
and
one
sat
test
and
see
because
they
are
very
different
tests.
I
would
say
the
larger
majority,
the
majority
of
our
students
take
the
sat
and
again
that's
personal
preference
for
you.
B
B
again
as
an
11th
grade
student.
You
definitely
want
to
take
it
twice
so
springtime
and
then
the
fall
of
your
senior
year
or
if
you're
gonna
stay
with
the
act.
The
july
date
is,
is
a
nice
one
to
do
over
the
summer.
I
have
a
lot
of
students
that
inquire
about
how
to
prep
for
the
act
or
the
sat
for
sat.
I
think
the
best
bet
is
khan
academy
and
you
have
access
to
khan
academy
through
college
board
and
what
I
recommend
is
really
20
20
minutes
a
night.
B
B
B
B
B
You
know
a
lot
of
adults
and
you
also
know
a
lot
of
students
who
have
already
graduated
from
vhs
and
maybe
they're
in
college,
maybe
they're
having
a
gap
year,
maybe
they're
in
the
world
of
work
whatever
it
may
be.
This
is
a
time
for
you
to
start
having
conversations,
I
think
this
is
a
good
idea
for
parents
too,
when
talking
with
other
parents,
tell
me
about
your
students
process.
B
B
If
you're
working
right
now
reach
out
to
the
the
other
people
that
you're
working
with
asking
them
questions,
you
can
even
be
as
formal
as
interviewing
a
person
in
in
the
field
or
career
in
which
you
have
interest
for,
and
I
had
a
student
who
just
did
that
with
me:
the
other
day
they're
interested
in
counseling
and
education,
and
so
they
are
they.
They
wanted
to
get
a
sense
of
kind
of
what
my
journey
was
and
and
a
little
bit
more
about
counseling.
B
C
We
are
doing
well
two
important
questions.
Just
came
up,
the
last
one
is:
will
school
counselors
meet
one-on-one
with
each
student,
each
of
our
juniors,
or
does
the
student
need
to
reach
out
to
the
counselor
for
college
planning?
We
are
going
to
reach
out
to
you
and
schedule
meetings
to
meet
with
you
one-on-one
another
question
and
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
us
as
well
we're
going
to
reach
out
to
you,
but
it
always
helps
to
have
more
communication.
C
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
respond
to
is
one
parent
at
or
one
person
so
sorry
said
how
about
naviance?
Can
we
have
a
tour
or
an
overview
of
it?
I
think
that's
a
really
good
idea.
We
had
some
nice
videos
detailing
course
requests
this
year.
I
think
they're
very
informative.
I
think
it
would
be
very
nice
to
put
together
one
for
naviance,
so
I'm
going
to
look
into
that.
B
B
Last
week
I
had
written
to
all
of
my
11th
grade
students
giving
them
my
you
can
book
me
link.
I've
already
started
junior
meetings,
so
I'm
asking
students
to
reach
out
to
me
and
book
themselves.
In
my
calendar
again,
the
11th
grade
meeting
is
really
important.
It's
about
meeting
graduation
requirements
and
course
requests
and
post-secondary
planning
and
that
this
is
the
start
of
it.
So
we
do
make
ourselves
available
for
11th
grade
meetings.
B
My
goal
is
always
to
see
every
11th
grade
student,
some
of
them
honestly,
though
I
have
to
chase
after
which
is
hard
to
do
virtually
but
again
we're
moving
downtown
bhs.
So
I
can
find
them
easier
as
far
as
summer
work
we're
available
in
the
summer
too.
Last
summer,
even
with
covid,
we
ran
a
number
of
different
college
preparatory
sessions
and
help
students
with
naviance
and
the
common
app
which
I'll
talk
more
about.
So
we
are
available
and
we
are
available
for
individual
meetings,
small
group
meetings.
B
B
Okay,
so
a
few
upcoming
events
to
know
about
college
and
career
pathways,
2021
there'll,
be
workshops
tours
and
info
sessions.
Vsac,
as
tony
highlighted,
vsac
is
incredible
resource
that
we
have
here.
We
also
have
a
vsac
coordinator,
soaring
dues
and
he's
not
with
us
tonight,
but
he
offers
support
to
a
group
of
students
and
is
always
our
contact
with
vsac.
B
B
So
I'm
always
telling
students
we've
got
to
keep
those
grades
up.
How?
How
can
I
help
do
you
want
to
go
to
the
o
e
for
the
community
at
the
community
center
for
homework
support?
Are
you
checking
in
with
your
teachers
during
office
hours
tutors?
We
have
more
tutors
that
are
becoming
available,
so
we
can
help
set
you
up
with
tutors.
We
can
have
a
meeting
and
lay
out
a
plan
for
you
and
your
teacher
of
how
to
keep
those
grades
up.
B
I
think
our
students
have
done
an
extraordinary
job,
managing
the
remote
learning
that
we
have
done
this
year,
and
I
just
can't
wait
for
the
opportunity
to
be
in
person.
I
think
that's
going
to
help
so
much
to
be
learning
in
person.
The
search
process
at
this
point
is
supposed
to
be
really
fun.
This
is
not
a
time
to
feel
stressed.
It's
a
time
to
really
think
about
what
your
life
it
is
going
to
look
like
after
high
school,
and
you
are
the
driver
of
that
so
many
choices.
B
B
B
There
it
is
okay,
so
I
missed
a
slide.
I
must
have
been
chatting
away
and
clicking
my
buttons
I'm
going
to
go
back
for
a
minute,
because
I've
talked
about
naviance
and
I've
mentioned
the
common
app,
and
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
slide
that
I
don't
want
to
miss
so
applying
to
college
means
that
there
are
different
deadlines
and
the
first
deadline
is
called
early
action
and,
typically
that
deadline
is
in
november,
sometimes
as
early
as
october
15th.
B
So
if
you
are
a
student
who
wants
to
apply
early
action
and
there's
some
there's,
some
benefits
to
it,
but
it's
also
okay
to
apply
regular
decision.
It
really
just
depends
on
the
work
that
you
do
between
now
and
the
fall
of
your
senior
year.
What
is
hard
is
if
you
come
in
in
september
and
say
I
want
to
apply
early
action
and
the
essay
wasn't
written
or
your
research
hadn't
been
done,
so
it
really
depends
on
how
you
move
forward
over
these
next
couple
months.
There's
also
what's
called
early
decision.
B
B
If
families
decide
that
that's
not
feasible,
then
then
you
can
get
out
of
that
agreement.
But
it's
really
important
to
know
what
that
means.
When
you
select
early
decision
means
you
are
committing
to
that
school
rolling
admissions
means
that
they
have
an
extended
time
period
and
usually
rolling
admissions
can
be
right
up
until
july
or
august
before
you
go
off
to
school.
So
that's
a
really
extended
time.
There's
a
lot
of
flexibility
with
rolling
admission.
B
I
do
recommend
to
the
students
that
I
work
with
to
not
wait
that
they
they
can
be
ready
in
the
spring
at
the
latest.
I
would
say
march
is
the
latest.
I
want
my
students
applying,
but
rolling
admission
can
really
help
if
a
student
applied
regular
decision
and
maybe
didn't
get
into
the
schools
they
wanted,
and
so
it
allows
us
to
reset
and
kind
of
start
the
process
again
with
new
schools
and
still
meet
their
deadlines.
B
So
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
common
application,
there's
also
what's
called
coalition
and
they're
very,
very
similar
in
structure.
They
both
require
essays
and
many
of
the
schools
that
students
will
apply
to
will
also
require
supplemental
essays,
they're,
just
shorter
essays,
usually
based
on
some
sort
of
prompt
like
why
uvm.
B
Sometimes
students
then
have
to
do
coalition
and
common
application.
Then
there's
also
suny
the
suny
schools.
They
use
their
own
shared
application,
also,
california,
schools.
They
have
a
california
application,
but
I
would
say,
for
the
most
part,
schools
take
the
common
application,
I
would
say
canadian
schools
or
somewhat
of
so
canadian
schools,
suny
schools,
california,
schools
are
kind
of
the
exception.
There
there's
also
some
schools
yale
comes
to
mind
that
wants
their
own
application.
B
So
when
students
are
organizing
their
schools,
it's
really
important
for
them
to
know
the
the
components
that
of
each
of
the
applications,
so
the
common
application
components
pretty
straightforward,
all
the
personal
information,
all
the
demographic
information.
It
also
asks
about
your
activities
and
work
and
service
internships,
job
shadows.
They
ask
about
honors,
they
ask
about
awards
and
there
is
a
required,
a
personal
essay
that
650
characters
in
the
common
application.
Again
we
recommend
you
really
starting
to
think
about
that
in
the
summertime.
B
There
are
recommendations
that
are
required
so
again
keeping
a
spreadsheet
of
who
wants
how
many
recommendations
and
which
schools
want
which
type
of
application,
and
then
I
already
had
mentioned
naviance
and
and
naviance
being
the
holder
of
some
of
that
really
important
information
like
counselor
and
teacher
recommendations
and
transcripts
in
the
school
profile
test
scores
test
scores
as
counselors.
We
do
not
send
test
scores,
we
don't
have
access
to
students.
College
board
account,
for
example,
so
or
to
their
act
account.
B
So
students
send
test
scores
directly
from
act
and
sat
from
the
college
board
and
there
is
a
small
fee
attached
to
that,
so
just
be
prepared.
If
you're
asked
to
send
your
test
scores
that
that
really
is
your
responsibility,
we
also
can
waive
college
application
fees
because
these
add
up
when
you're,
looking
at
anywhere
from
six
to
eight
schools.
So
again,
you
may
have
two
to
three
safety
schools,
two
to
three
target
schools
and
two
to
three
reach.
Schools
and
those
applications
are
fifty
dollars
to
seventy
dollars.
B
It
adds
up.
So
if
a
student
is
eligible
for
free
and
reduced
lunch,
then
they
are
eligible
for
a
com
for
an
application
fee
waiver
that
we
as
school
counselors
have
to
sign
off
on
then,
as
I
had
mentioned,
soaring
dues,
he
works
with
visac
he's
instrumental
in
helping
provide
presentations
around
the
fafsa
and
how
to
complete
the
fafsa
and
the
financial
aid
application,
and
I
believe
tony
has
partnered
with
soren
in
the
past
about
offering
that
to
families.
B
We
haven't
been
able
to
this
year
for
obvious
reasons,
but
it
is
something
really
we'd
like
to
get
back
to
as
well
as
vsac
does
offer,
what's
called
fafsa
fridays,
which
is
a
tongue
twister
and
they
are
available
at
vsac
to
meet
with
family.
So
again,
vsac
is
a
wonderful
organization
that
really
helps
with
the
financial
components
of
the
college
process.
C
Karen,
I
want
to
jump
in
on
one
thing:
we've
spoken
a
lot
about
naviance
people
are
wondering
how
do
I
sign
up
for
naviance
parents?
Please
email,
your
well
that's
redundant.
Please
send
your
email
address
to
kate
stein,
the
registrar
along
with
your
student's
name,
and
we
will
register
you
in
the
system
press
a
button
and
in
invitation
to
register,
to
register
your
account
will
arrive
in
your
email.
B
Yes
and
and
again,
all
students
have
a
naviance
account,
so
when
they
come
into
vhs
in
ninth
grade,
they
have,
they
have
gotten
an
account,
and
so
we
may
already
have
you
in
the
system.
You
could
even
just
reach
out
to
the
counselor
directly
to
see
because
it's
just
a
click
of
a
button
where
we
register
you
and
we
are
going
to
be
registering
at
our
11th
grade
meetings
with
students
as
well,
because
we
want
them
to
be
able
to
peruse
through
naviance
again
it
has
some
great
tools
available
to
us.
B
B
E
Great
how's,
my
audio
karen,
it's
perfect
great,
all
right
and
I'll.
Just
ask
you
to
advance
slides,
so
hello,
everybody
out
there
in
vhs
land.
My
name
is
andy
barker,
I'm
the
project
director
for
burlington
city
in
lake
semester,
there's
our
beautiful
logo
designed
by
students
and
with
course,
sign
ups
right
around
the
corner.
I
want
to
tell
you
all
about
one
of
the
great
opportunities
that's
available
to
you
as
a
junior
or
senior
next
year,
and
that
is
to
participate
in
burlington
city
in
lake
semester.
E
You're
meeting
new
people
next
slide
you're
encountering
new
ideas,
you're
exploring
new
places
next
slide,
you're
with
friends,
you're,
making
new
friends
you've
got
time
to
develop
relationships
with
them.
Next
slide,
you're
having
fun
you're,
doing
things
that
you're
genuinely
interested
in
next
slide.
E
You've
got
the
right
amount
of
challenge
in
your
life,
so
you're
learning
things
but
you're
not
overwhelmed
next
slide
and
you're
being
yourself.
Well,
that's
really.
What
bcl
is
it's
a
program
at
bhs?
That's
built
around
the
question:
what
does
it
take
to
thrive
next
slide,
and
we
talk
about
that
as
individuals?
E
E
So
more
than
100
students
have
done
burlington
city
in
lake
semester,
now
all
kinds
of
students
all
kinds
of
students
and
without
fail.
They
have
a
great
experience.
They
say
it
was
fun.
They
say
they
learned
so
much
about
the
city
and
about
themselves
that
they
made
new
friends
that
they
challenged
some
old
ideas
and
they
even
say
that
it
was
worth
doing
and
fun
in
covet
times
next
slide.
E
So
I
think
next
year's
going
to
be
a
great
time
to
do
bcl,
and
I
want
to
invite
you
to
consider
it.
A
lot
of
you
have
spent
a
lot
of
years
in
the
classroom
and
now
you've
had
a
year
of
mostly
remote
learning
next
slide,
and
so
this
is
a
great
chance
to
get
outside
to
be
with
peers
to
be
in
the
city
to
engage
with
issues
that
really
matter.
Right
now
stretch
your
wings
a
little
explore
some
new
things.
E
So
that's
roughly
eight
to
two
fifty
we'll
we'll
adjust
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
conflicting
with
athletics.
If
the
covet
schedules
change,
but
basically
all
day
in
the
city
on
blue
days
and
there's
an
honors
option
so
for
students
who
want
extra
challenge,
they
can
earn
honors
the
course
meets
at
the
old
north
end
center,
which
is
a
great
community
center,
three
blocks
from
downtown
bhs.
E
So
here's
how
it
works.
We
we
we're
based
downtown
from
that
base
we
go
out
and
about
in
the
city
we
get
out
into
the
fresh
air.
You
can
get
the
next
slide.
We
change
up
our
environment,
we
do
hands-on
projects,
we
do
a
lot
of
journaling.
We
talk
to
fascinating
people,
experts
and
city
leaders.
We
visit
unique
places
in
burlington.
E
The
course
is
built
around
several
themes
that
I
think
are
really
fundamental:
to
prepare
students
for
the
21st
century.
We
talk
a
lot
about
sustainability,
which
is
how
we're
going
to
take
care
of
this
planet.
We
talk
about
equity,
which
is
about
how
we're
going
to
make
the
world
a
fair
place
for
everyone.
E
E
E
E
E
E
So
you
should
have
received
an
email
from
me
last
week
as
a
rising
senior
with
links
and
more
info.
You
can
go
to
the
final
slide.
Karen,
you
can
apply
online.
We
have
a
lovely
website
with
lots
of
pictures
at
btvcitylake.org.
You
can
apply
directly
there.
You
can
also
talk
to
your
bhs
counselor
and
karen
and
tony
and
the
whole
team
know
all
about
bcl
and
can
help
you
figure
out.
If
it
fits
in
your
schedule
and
if
it
looks
like
it
won't
fit
in
their
schedule,
they
might
be
able
to
help.
E
B
E
E
B
C
E
Thanks
tony,
I
will
we
do
have
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
this
year.
We
have
the
half
day,
bcl
course
that
we
call
burlington
experience
that
we
are
currently
enrolling.
So
if
you're
somebody
who
maybe
only
has
a
couple
of
classes
in
your
schedule
in
the
fourth
quarter
this
year
or
if
you're
somebody
who
maybe
has
a
little
wiggle
room
in
your
schedule-
and
you
would
be
interested
to
get
outside
and
do
in
person,
learning
on
for
for
more
hours
of
your
time
would
encourage
you
to
apply
there.
E
B
B
B
B
Great
question:
I
love
it,
so
you
go
to
commonapp.org
and
you
create
an
account
and
you
can
do
that
anytime
and
what
I
recommend
to
students,
because
the
filling
out
the
common
app
can
be
kind
of
boring
and
monotonous,
and
so,
if
you,
you
know,
worked
on
just
one
section
every
week
that
would
get
you
in
a
really
good
place.
I
have
had
students
that
have
waited
till
almost
the
day
before
and
then
filled
out
the
whole
thing
and
it
took
him
about
three
hours.
B
That
is
not
what
I
recommend.
I
recommend
that
you
chip
away
at
it
and
really
give
thought
to
the
activities
section.
Yes,
this
reminds
me
this
is
really
important
to
mention.
Is
activities
have
changed
with
covid
and
again,
hopefully,
by
the
time
you're,
all
starting
your
senior
year?
You
will
be
in
in
a
place
where
you
can
access
all
activities
as
we
once
did.
B
However,
we
really
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
look
like,
and
so
I
continue
to
reflect
on
a
conversation-
and
I
said
this
to
my
seniors
at
the
beginning
of
the
year-
reflect
on
a
conversation
that
I
had
with
the
tulane
admissions
director
and,
and
he
said,
yeah,
we
don't
expect
to
be
getting
common
applications
that
have
all
these
listings
of
activities
that
once
happened
in
school.
We
know
that
schools
closed
and
kids
were
at
home
and
people
weren't
allowed
to
go
anywhere.
B
I
had
a
student
who
did
a
science
project
and
researched
for
months,
and
I
have
other
students
that
created
youtube
videos,
and
I
have
other
students
that
have
read
you
know
all
the
classic
literature
pieces
and-
and
so
the
tulane
director
was
saying.
I
want
to
know
what
students
have
done,
because
that
is
a
window
into
their
world,
so
think
about
how
that
fits
for
you.
B
They
want
to
know
who
you
are,
what
your
passions
and
interests
are
and
what
you've
been
spending
your
time
with,
and
that's
why
I
really
like
programs
like
bcl,
because
it's
a
unique
opportunity.
This
is
a
time
for
you
to
really
seize
those
opportunities
and
experiences
that
maybe
you
haven't
had
before.
