C
A
And
spent
a
little
time
with
us
at
HCC
last
year,
I
knew
a
lot
of
our
students,
which
is
great,
so
we
feel
so
fortunate
to
have
her
at
the
high
school
this
year.
So
we're
both
going
to
be
talking
to
you
a
little
bit
today,
but
the
operative
word
in
guidance.
Discussion
group
is
discussion,
and
this
is
really
you
know
an
opportunity
for
us
to
chat
with
each
other
and
really
rely
on
I
heard.
A
A
lot
of
it
happening
already
rely
on
each
other
and
for
you
to
hear
from
other
parents
who
have
gone
through
High
School
have
gone
through,
their
child
has
gone
through
high
school
and
to
to
tell
about
it,
but
also
you
know
just
to
hear
from
you
what
works,
what
doesn't
work?
What
is
the
parent
perspective
here?
A
You
know
we'll
certainly
give
you
the
school
perspective
and
things
to
think
about,
but
I
think
probably
most
importantly,
this
is
an
opportunity
for
people
who
have
help
their
child
go
through
high
school
and
have
some
really
great
advice
to
share.
So
I
encourage
you.
If
you
have
an
older
child
to
please
chime
in,
please
speak
up
and
as
we
go
along,
this
is
really
a
discussion.
So
no
need
to
wait
until
the
end.
Just
you
know,
chime
in
with
your
questions
and
and
happy
to
to
address
them.
A
I
will
just
start
out
by
saying
this
is
a
discussion.
Sometimes
we
might
have
differing
of
opinions
and
that's
great
as
we
should,
but
to
please
be
respectful
in
how
we
discuss
things
with
each
other,
to
listen
to
understand
and
to
appreciate
the
perspective
of
the
person
sitting
next
to
you
so
so
welcome,
and
today
we
are
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
clubs
and
activities,
which
is
something
that
for
our
ninth
grade
parents,
Miss,
Christian,
Kelly
I,
think
five
people
will
find
it
really
interesting.
A
How
many
of
you
have
a
ninth
grade
student,
okay,
okay,
so
that
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
our
perspective.
So
we'll
talk
about
clubs
and
activities.
I
am
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
updates
we've
done
to
our
Advanced
website,
which
is
our
College
website
and
the
information
that
we've
added
to
that
website
over
the
summer,
and
then
I
was
going
to
talk
about
the
graduating
class
data
and
I'll
get
into
it.
A
But
this
is
the
national
student
Clearinghouse
data
on
student
students
who
have
registered
for
college
what
they
are
doing
and
how
they
persist,
or
not
over
time
specific
to
buyer
of
health
and
I
have
data
that
goes
back
to
2015.
So
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
that
information.
Of
course
it's
all
positive
and
it
will
be
all
the
more
happier
that
you
have
your
child
in
the
fire
of
Hills,
but
I
do
think
it's
really
important
to
know
what
what
happens
to
our
students
once
they
graduate
Byron
health,
because
that's
not
something.
A
A
A
So
again,
myself,
I
am
a
ninth
grade.
Counselor
I
have
about
50
students
on
my
caseload.
The
rest
of
the
ninth
grade
class
has
Miss
Berman.
She
has
a
tall
order.
She
is
getting
to
know
your
career
children
and
we
actually
were
just
in
two
major
classes
this
morning.
So
right
now
and
I
don't
want
it's
still
too
much
of
your
show.
You're
probably
gonna
talk
about
this,
but
that's
what
we're
doing
right
now
we're
pushing
into
the
mentor
classes
we're
introducing
ourselves.
A
A
How
do
you
miss
you
know
their
your
high
school
counselor
and
it's
interesting
for
for
them
to
talk
about
that
and
what
that
experience
is
like,
but
I
also
think
it
gives
the
students
a
really
rich
understanding
of
what
guidance
is
and
that
we
really
could
be
dealing
with
a
multitude
of
different
issues
on
any
given
day.
That's
who
we
are-
and
you
know
that
that's
perfectly
fine,
so
yeah
that's
happening
right
now,
right
now
so
Julie
I'm,
going
to.
E
Party
yeah
everyone,
so
one
question:
that's
come
up
a
lot
from
parents
at
the
start
of
this
year
is
how
can
my
child
become
more
involved
in
the
school
regarding
extracurricular
activities
and
clubs
and
Byron
Hills
High
School
offers
almost
100,
extracurricular
and
clubs
and
on
our
website
it's
I'll
show
you
how
to
navigate
it
and
see
what
the
options
are
in
Mentor
classes.
Today
we
went
in
and
talked
to
the
kids
about
how
there's
an
upcoming
Club
Fair.
E
It
takes
place
in
school
during
their
Mentor
class
and
they
can
go
in
and
talk
to
different
Club
organizers
and
find
out.
You
know
what
they
might
be
passionate
about,
and
you
know
they
can
explore
different
options.
Some
clubs
have
more
of
a
commitment.
Some
clubs
are
just
you
know
once
a
week
or
once
every
two
weeks,
so
your
child
can
decide
how
he
or
she
wants
to
how
much
time
they
want
to
commit.
A
E
You
can
scroll
down
and
see
all
the
options
that
your
child
will
be
introduced
to
at
the
club,
fair
and
then
right
here
at
the
top.
There
there's
a
Byron
Hills
High
School
clubs
and
activities
website
and
the
website's
great,
because
up
at
the
top
you'll
see
Club
offerings
and
it
breaks
down
the
clubs
by
academic
clubs,
service
based
clubs,
community
building
and
then
general
interest.
And
so
you
and
your
child
can
explore
the
different
options
and
see
what
interests
the
most.
A
A
Those
things
really
come
to
life
for
a
student
in
the
college
application
process,
because
it's
an
opportunity
for
for
a
student
to
say
and
and
communicate
really
what
they
value.
You
know
what's
important
to
them,
and
you
know
it's
the
whole
idea
of
do
more
than
just
telling
me
that
show
me
that,
and
how
do
you
show
a
college
or
university
who
your
child
is
and
how
do
they
do?
That
is
by
their
involvements.
A
So
if
Chris
Welsh
were
here,
he
would
say
any
child
who
is
going
home
every
day
after
school
on
the
bus
that
you're
doing
something
wrong.
He
doesn't
you
know
he
does
a
want
students
to
go
home
every
day.
Of
course,
some
days
they
have
to
but
get
involved,
I
think
that's
the
message
get
involved,
get
involved
with
something
whether
it's
a
club
or
activity
cure
or
a
sport.
A
Let
us
know
if
you
think
that
that's
going
to
be
a
source
of
angst
in
your
family,
which
is
completely
normal,
let
us
know-
and
we
can
have
a
conversation
with
your
child-
ask
what
clubs
and
activities
did
you
sign
up
for
at
the
at
the
club
fair,
you
know.
What
are
you
interested?
Are
you
having
difficulty
with
that?
We
can
kind
of
interject
and
and
help
them
along
and
find
something,
but
this
this
club
Fair
on
the
20th
is
phenomenal.
It
will
be
just
for
ninth
graders
during
Mentor
time.
A
They
can
talk
to
people
individually
about
the
club
or
activity
and
then
for
any
student
10.
You
know
9
through
12
during
lunch
they
can
take
a
look
at
the
different
clubs
and
activities
choose
something.
Maybe
they
chose
something
last
year
that
they,
you
know
not
that
interested
in
anymore.
This
is
time
to
switch
and
they
should
absolutely
sign
up
for
other
clubs
and
activities.
A
A
D
A
So
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
is
our
Advanced
website.
If
you
do
not
know
what
Advance
is
Advanced
is
our
College
website
it's
specific
to
Byram
Health,
it's
something
that
we
spend
a
lot
of
time,
updating
with
relevant
information
about
the
college
process.
It
is
located
on
the
guidance
website.
It's
listed
in
two
places.
If
you
can't
remember
the
word
advanced
I
struggle
with
that
too.
It's.
D
A
As
the
college
website,
both
places,
take
you
to
a
dance
okay,
so
Advance
is
something
that
we
put
together
during
covid
and
then
have
really
expanded,
and
the
reason
why
the
advanced
website
is
so
important
and
we
have
to
keep
it
updated-
is
that
our
students
have
different
needs
when
it
comes
to
the
college
process.
Some
of
our
students
need
have
a
need
to
start
things
very
early,
maybe
in
ninth
or
10th
grade,
and
they
need
to
be
thinking
about
things
about
their
life
after
Byram
in
9th
or
tenth
grade.
A
But
then
we
also
have
students
who
they're
you
know,
maybe
much
later
in
senior
year.
This
is
all
coming
together
for
them,
and
so
we
wanted
to
be
responsive
in
that
way,
so
that
people
could
access
this
when
it
made
time
when
it
made
sense
for
them
in
their
own
time
and
as
a
family
when,
when
you
needed
this
information
so
on
the
advanced
website,.
D
A
We've
broken
this
timeline
down
for
each
grade.
Sometimes
we're
asked
what
can
I
do?
What
can
I
help
my
child
with
they're
only
in
ninth
grade
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
can
be
doing
early
on?
That
will
help
in
the
College
Planning
process.
So
we
kind
of
outline
that-
and
you
see
it's
more
bulleted
and
kind
of
just
a
little
bit
more
bigger
picture,
but
by
the
time
we
get
to
our
junior
year,
we've
got
flowcharts
going.
A
A
You
know
colleges
are
only
kind
of
up
and
running
until
about
May
each
year,
so
we
don't
want
to
miss
those
opportunities.
So
there
becomes
a
lot
more
external
deadlines
and
things
that
are
going
on.
For
example,
SAT
test
dates,
ACT
test
dates,
so
we
need
to
meet
those
deadlines
and
then,
by
the
time
we
get
to
our
senior
year
again
flow
charts.
What
are
we
doing?
Okay,
this
is
just
a
general
guide.
This
isn't
something
to
be
followed
month
by
month,
but
this
is
more
like
I,
don't
know
where
to
start.
A
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
so,
okay,
hopefully
your
child
knows
about
this,
but,
as
you
probably
know,
as
of
August
1st
over
the
summer,
the
counselors
are
not
back,
but
the
common
application
is
live
as
of
August
1st
and
our
fire
impound
students
want
to
be.
You
know
they
want
to
get
going
early
on.
So
what
we've
done
is
we
have
put
a
whole
bunch
of
how-to
videos
how
to
answer
every
single
question
on
the
common
application
stuff
that
could
really
get
done
without
needing
your
counselor.
A
Okay,
necessarily,
you
know
you
don't
need
your
counselor
to
tell
you,
there's
172
students
in
the
graduating
class.
We
can
have
that
up
here,
okay,
and
so
these
are
just
like
really
great,
like
little
tutorials
on
how
to
do
everything
and,
for
example,
right
now
we
have
the
schedule
for
application.
Clinic
application
Clinic,
as
I
was
saying,
is
an
opportunity
for
a
senior
to
stop
in
and
a
counselor
will
be
there
and
will
help
them
with
all
like
the
specific
tasks
that
are
kind
of
like
you,
don't
need
your
actual
counselor
for
that
task.
A
So
it's
you
know,
like
I,
said,
merging
your
common
application
with
Naviance
requesting
transcripts
to
be
sent
requesting
letters
of
recommendation
that
way,
students
can
come
to
one
of
these
get
their
questions
answered
and
you
know
really
move
on
and
not
feel
like.
They
don't
know
how
to
do.
These
kind
of
you
know
important
steps.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we've
also
updated
on
on
the
advanced
website
and
then
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
show.
You
is
tips.
A
A
A
Regents
exam:
what
is
it
and
a
lot
of
times?
We
get
a
lot
of
questions
about
this,
and
so
what
we've
done
is
we've
developed
a
list
of
every
single
course
in
the
high
school,
the
credits
associated
with
the
course
and
for
the
most
part,
what
level
that
course
would
be
now
a
student
taking
a
course
at
a
different
time
and
in
a
different
year
we
might
have
to
adjust
whether
it's
an
advanced
course
or
an.
A
Course,
but
for
the
most
part,
this
answers
a
lot
of
student
questions
about
courses-
okay,
this
is,
as
you
can
imagine,
a
pretty
big
undertaking
that
we're
hearing
from
the
students
that
they
were
really
pleased
to
have
this,
because
they
could
check
their
courses
that
they
were,
you
know
to
know,
and
they
would
you
know
they
would
have
that
information
again.
All
of
this
is
under
common
application.
Support
I
can
keep
going
on
and
on
and
on
other
things.
I
want
to
point
out
on
here.
A
So
I.
If
you
have
a
child
with
a
with
a
learning
disability,
and
you
want
to
start
getting.
You
know
acquainted
with
this
information.
You
can
really
dive
in
here,
and
we
actually
went
so
far
as
to
list
particular
colleges
that
we
think
do
a
great
job
and
actually
the
link
to
the
actual
program.
At
these
college.
Universities.
B
A
Yes,
yes,
so
on
a
student's,
High,
School
transcript,
they
would
have
something
like
you
know:
English
9,
1.0
credit
who
would
say
that,
or
they
might
say,
creative
writing,
0.5
credits,
so
the
transcript
will
list.
All
of
that
and
ultimately
it
needs
22
credits
in
order
to
graduate
which
our
students
far
exceed
at
Byram
Hills.
So
that's
really
never
an
issue
about
the
meeting,
the
22
credits,
but
the
colleges
will
see
how
many,
how
many
credits
they
took
in
high
school.
F
A
Of
our
classes
actually
have
it
in
like
the
name
like
Advanced
pre-calculus,
okay,
so
that's
an
advanced
course.
We
don't
use
the
terminology
of
honors,
we
use
either
Advanced
or
accelerated
or
on
level.
So
that
is
you
know
we
have
that
in
here,
but
it's
also
on
our
profile.
So,
for
example,
every
student
who
applies
to
college
our
student,
our
profile,
our
school
profile,
goes
with
their
application
to
every
school,
so
a
college
could
say:
okay,
this
this
student
was
in
this
particular
course.
Let
me
look
at
the
profile.
A
Any
questions
about
the
advanced
website:
it's
really
it
has
something
for
everybody.
Don't
wait
until
senior
year,
don't
wait
until
even
10th
grade.
Definitely
jump
into
this
website
see
what
we
have
here
and
if
you
have
suggestions
about
what
we
could
add
to
this
site,
what
would
be
helpful
for
you
as
a
parent
and
even
working
with
your
child?
What's
missing
from
here?
This
is
something
that
we're
you
know
we're
really
looking
to
update
and
make
it
you
know
make
it
as
user
friendly
for
you
and
your
child
could
possibly
be
a
wait.
A
I
should
mention
too
one
last
thing
is
that
a
week
from
this
I
believe
Thursday
and
I
will
send
something
out.
We
are
having
a
financial
aid
night,
it's
happening
in
September
this
year
and
we
are
doing
it
in
September,
because
there
are
changes
to
the
financial
aid,
the
FAFSA,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
parents
and
students
are
well
aware
of
those
changes,
but
I
think
probably
the
best
use
of
that
night
is
for
our
ninth
and
10th
grade
parents.
A
It
is
never
too
early
to
understand
how
the
financial,
the
financial
aspects
of
college,
how
that
works,
because
if
you
need
to
make
any
adjustments
in
the
way
that
you're
currently
you
know
doing
things,
it's
important
to
know
that
very
early
on.
It's
also
very
important
to
have
discussions
with
your
child
about
you
know
how
financing
of
college
is
going
to
happen
and
the
earlier
you
can
have
those
conversations.
The
better.
A
D
D
A
So
as
I
discussed
before
each
year,
the
national
student
Clearinghouse
gathers
information
about
our
graduating
class
and
they
have
to
give
us
that
information
and
we
think
it's
really
important
information
to
understand
what
happens
to
our
students
after
they
leave
Byron
health,
and
this
is
based
off
of
students
registering
at
colleges
and
universities
with
their
social
security
number.
So
that's
one,
that's
how
this
information
is
being
tracked.
A
What
we
know
is
that
this
information
about
graduating
class
of
dates
as
far
back
as
2015.,
so
it's
the
year
span
from
2015
to
the
class
of
2022.,
doesn't
include
2023.
They
haven't
really
gone
to
college.
Yet
we
know
that
93
of
our
students
enroll
in
college
the
year
after
high
school,
so
93
was
the
average
over
the
span
of
2015
to
2022
and
realized
that
there
were
some
covid
years
in
there.
So
you
know
that
number
is
a
great
number,
but
we
had
the
year
2020..
A
A
I
A
A
F
A
A
What
percent
answers
what
percent
transfers?
If
it's
an
interesting
question
and
we
are
starting
to
keep
track
of
it-
just
very
anecdotally,
but
it's
not
an
easy
thing
to
it's,
not
an
easy
thing
to
track,
because
not
every
student
needs
to
go
through
Byram
Hills
in
order
to
have
their
transcript
sent
somewhere
else.
So
we
can
do
it
at
anecdotally
and
we
actually
have
started
to
do
that
just
for
the
class
of
2023
to
keep
track
of
that
just
for
our
own
information.
A
A
If
that's
something
that
you
want,
if
that's
something
that
is
important
to
you
in
the
college
process,
I
would
ask
your
child's
counselor
for
that
information,
and
you
can
talk
about
that
and
we
have
it
from
a
few
years
ago.
I
don't
believe
it's
it's
not
up
to
date
in
the
last
admission
cycle,
but
it's
interesting.
You
know
and
I'll
I
won't
go
too
into
it,
but
they
seem
to
be
the
larger
public
universities
in
the
south.
D
A
D
A
Students
and
I
realized
it's
a
little
bit
small
again.
I
might
make
you
all
repeat
after
me:
do
not
use
this
list.
Okay
to
determine
the
colleges
your
child
should
apply
to.
There
are
amazing
colleges
and
universities
out
there.
These
are
just
the
ones
that
our
students
tend
to
really
want
to
go
to
to
enjoy,
and
you
know
pursue,
but
by
no
means
you
know,
is
an
exhaustive
list
of
colleges
and
universities
yeah.
So
to
clarify
this
means
that
the
student
body
as
cohort
this
is
where
they've.
B
A
A
What
I
think
is
particularly
interesting
about
this
and
part
of
the
reason
why
I'm
showing
it
to
you
here
is
we
have.
We
have
colleges
Binghamton
SUNY,
Westchester,
Community
College,
that
is
on
here,
that
could
be
a
full-time
student.
It
could
be
a
part-time
student,
it
could
be
just
individual
classes.
A
A
A
Ithaca
High
up
there
on
the
list,
be
you,
but
now
Ford
and
Villanova,
an
interesting
range
of
private
and
public
universities
on
there,
but
I
think
this
is
helpful
for,
for
a
few
reasons.
Obviously,
it's
important
for
you
as
parents
to
be
educated
about
where
our
students
are
going,
but
they
also
got
accepted
to
tremendous
amount
of
schools
other
than
these
schools
they're.
A
Okay
on
the
list
and
I
know
that
parents
are
starting
to
get
the
message
about
this
in
the
college
process.
One
one
thing
anecdotally
is
that
we
had
over
25
applicants
to
International
School
applications
to
international
schools.
Last
year
and
eight
students
in
our
senior
class
went
to
college
internationally
last
year
that
I've
been
here
for
23
years.
I
can
tell
you
that
has
never
happened.
A
Eight
students
chose
to
go
internationally,
they
and
understand
they
were
like
I
can't
compete
in
the
U.S
schools.
They
found
what
they
were
looking
for
in
an
international
school.
They
were
willing
to
look.
They
appreciated
a
different
process
than
a
lot
of
our
other
students,
which
was
great
and
I.
Think
you
know
kudam
is
to
our
department.
They
were
really
supported
in
that
because
International,
it's
not
like
you
just
necessarily
do
the
common
application
and
a
lot
of
times
it's
a
very
different
application
and
understanding
what's
needed.
A
A
D
D
H
J
A
After
you
balance
that
yeah,
so
it's
a
difficult
one,
because
you
know
they
oftentimes
are
missing,
you
know
really
important
classes,
so
I
would
say,
as
a
general
rule,
that
you
can
help
your
child
prioritize.
What
colleges
and
universities
that
are
coming
are
the
ones
that
they
should
should
be
there,
for
you
know
what
what
class
do
they
miss?
A
You
know
and
stuff
like
that.
I
think,
certainly
for
a
student
who
has
not
been
able
to
be
on
campus
for
a
particular
school.
That
would
be
important
if
they
don't
want
to
miss
a
class.
There
is
a
way
we
can
certainly
give
the
student
I
think
they
actually
have
access
to
it
in
Naviance
is
the
person's
email
address
of
the
of
the
rep
College,
rep
and
I.
Think
a
quick
email
to
the
rapid
thing.
J
A
A
It's
eighth
grade,
so
they
have
access,
but
it's
basically
the
same
login.
However,
they
log
into
eSchool.
However,
they
log
into
their
Gmail
account
is
the
same
login
that
gets
them
into
Naviance.
So
it's
super
easy.
They
can
just
go
back
in.
We
give
them
a
refresher
in
freshman
year
and
we
give
them
a
refresher
again
in
junior
year
on
how.
A
That's
a
really
good
question.
So
Naviance
has
this
called
rep
visits
where
we
populate
our
calendar
of
when
we
can
see
representatives
and
we
make
it
live,
and
so
any
college
or
university
that
wants
to
come
to
Byron
Hills.
They
just
go
on
and
they
pick
their
time
their
appointment.
Sometimes,
though,
we
have
colleges
that,
for
some
reason
haven't
scheduled
for
us,
but
we
know
we
have
some
students
who
would
like
to
meet
with
that
representative.
If
that's
the
case,
let
your
counselor
know,
and
we
will
reach
out
to
that
rep
and
invite
them.
A
Ncaa,
so
the
NCAA
process
looks
like
it
first
starts
out
with
the
eligibility
Clearinghouse.
So
it's
a
it's
a
pretty
involved
process
that
a
student
needs
to
do
to
enter
in
all
the
courses
that
they've
taken
and
also
they
have
to
talk
about
their
level
of
play
in
their
particular
Sport
and
give
kind
of,
like
you
know,
whatever
the
involvement
is
that
they've
had
as
far
as
Athletics
and
they
basically
complete
this.
A
We
get
that
we
work
with
the
student
on
that
and
then,
ultimately,
at
the
end
of
their
senior
year,
their
final
transcript
gets
uploaded
to
NCAA
and
they
get
the
final
eligibility
clearance
once
they've
met.
You
know
all
the
you
know
all
the
different
parameters
that
they've
needed
to
meet.
So
if
your
child
is,
you
know
possibly
going
to
be
a
student
athlete
division,
one
division,
two,
they
should
be
in
touch
with
their
counselor
earlier
on
and
we
can
start.
We
can
even
do
the
whole
NCAA
process
with
the
student
if
they
want
to.
F
A
A
I,
don't
think
we
have
anything
on
here,
but
given
that
we
have
eight
students
going
International
I,
think
that
might
be
a
tab
that
we
need
to
add
because
it
does
take
on
a
little
bit
of
of
a
life
of
its
own,
and
it
just
involves
a
lot
of
like
work
on
the
student
and
the
counselor
part
to
get
you
know
the
links
to
get
the
application.
It's
not
it's
not
like
the
common
application.
Where
you
know
you
can
go
to
one
place
and
you
can
just
see
it
all
in
one
place.
B
A
I
C
G
A
D
A
Think
about
it
in
this
day
and
age
that
a
student
is
going
to
college
that
are
so
few
things
that
could
differentiate.
You
know
a
student
in
the
process
and
some
colleges
and
universities
are.
They
want
to
really
make
sure
that
a
student
who
is
choosing
them
has
done
their
homework
that
understands
what
they're
getting
that
it's
a
match.
You
know
on
a
number
of
different
levels.
A
Obviously
our
bigger
colleges
and
universities
are
cannot
spend
the
time
doing
that,
it's
just
too
much
but
again,
I
think
you're
sort
of
you're,
more
you're,
smaller
your
liberal
arts
college.
They
want
to
know
that
you,
you
haven't
just
gone
down
and
say:
okay,
I
can
apply
to
20
schools
on
the
common
application.
Let
me
just
go
down
and
fill
in
this
list.
They
want
to
know
that
there's
a
reason
so
it
might,
it
might
not
be
the
amount.
A
It
might
just
be
a
quality
interaction
once
or
twice
with
the
school,
showing
up
on
campus
attending
a
local
fair,
having
some
Outreach
with
a
college
rep,
but
they
definitely
are
looking
for
that.
If
you're
not
sure
about
that
in
the
college
process,
that
is
something
that
your
counselor
could
say.
H
Okay
right,
yes,
first,
a
comment:
I
would
love
to
see
even
more
data
on
the
graduating
class.
So
thank
you
for
presenting
that.
Yes,
because
it's
very
very
helpful
and
there's
like
a
lot
of
speculation
on
where
people
go,
so
it's
great
to
have
actual
data,
so
thank
you
keep
it
coming
and
then
the
other
thing
was
like
a
logistical
question
about
the
PSAT.
Yes,
so,
for
example,
like
is
every
student
automatically
signed
up
to
take
it,
or
is
that?
Is
there
anything
that
we
need
to
do
beat
me.
A
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
it,
okay,
so
for
those
of
you
that
have
older
children
and
haven't
gone
through
this,
you
were
spared
this,
but
it
is
now
digital.
So
the
the
PSAT
for
juniors
this
year
is
digital
PSAT,
there's
no
more
paper
or
anything
else.
So
all
of
the
directors
of
guidance
in
Westchester
we're
all
like.
What
are
you
doing?
What
are
you
doing
we're
all
like?
You
know,
because
we
all
have
kind
of
different
ways
of
doing
it.
But
to
answer
your
question,
all
students
are
automatically
signed
up
for
the
PSAT.
A
My
email
tomorrow,
going
out
to
just
Juniors
is
saying:
if
you
know
your
child
is
not
going
to
take
it.
Please
let
us
know,
because
that
that
will
help
us.
You
know,
know
our
exact
numbers
for
that
day,
they
don't
they
do
have
to
do
one
thing:
it's
called
a
digital
Readiness
check
and
we
are
doing
that
with
them
in
their
English
classes,
at
the
end
of
September
and
basically
that's
an
opportunity
for
them
to
go
into.
A
It's
called
Blue
Book,
it's
where
they
take
the
test
they
go
in
if
they
have
any
technology.
Difficulty
we're
going
to
know
on
that
day
we're
going
to
be
able
to
help
them
solve
it,
and
the
student
goes
in
and
they
make
sure
that
all
of
their
information
is
correct.
They
learn
how
to
take.
They
learn
how
to
take
the
test
digitally.
They
learn
how
to
check
the
time
they
learn.
You
know
a
bunch
of
different
things,
so
they
can
really
kind
of
practice
it.
A
They
will
have
the
code
to
be
able
to
practice
it
on
their
own
up
until
the
date
of
the
test
and
then
the
morning
of
the
test.
Each
student
is
given
their
own
specific
code,
which
will
allow
them
to
go
in
and
start
taking
the
test,
so
they
have
to
use
our
Chromebooks
okay,
so
students
cannot
bring
their
own
device
on
that
day.
They
have
have
to
use
hours.
We've
downloaded
our
Chromebooks
with
the
necessary
software.
In
order
to
take
that.
H
Exam
and
I
have
one
other
question
about
the
relationship
with
the
advisor,
because
a
lot
of
college
applications
require
an
advisor,
a
guidance
recommendations.
So
how
do
you
recommend
that
students
kind
of
build
that
relationship
with
their
advisor?
If
you
have
a
student
who
really
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
Need
for
advising
in
particular,
should
they
be?
You
know
reaching
out
and
filling
them
in
when
they
have
like
us
like
a
work
experience
or
you
know
they
take
the
SAT
and
get
a
score
or
whatever
it
is
like.
H
A
So
I
think
all
the
things
that
you
mentioned.
You
know
stopping
in
there
being
available
introducing
themselves,
letting
them
know
not
only
the
the
bad
things
but
the
good
things
giving
a
copy
of
their
resume.
If
they
have
one
to
you
know
to
the
counselor
for
our
Juniors,
we
will
start
the
college
process
in
November
and
those
will
be
a
series
of
individual
meetings
with
the
student
to
get
to
know
them
before
we
invite
you,
as
parents,.
A
J
A
C
A
Well,
that
I
would
definitely
work
that,
through
with
your
child's
counselor,
because,
depending
on
the
level
of
math
that
they're
in
now
or
any
kind
of
prep
that
they're
doing
that
would
differ.
You
know
by
each
student,
so
I
would
say
once
the
PSAT
has
come
back.
You
know
to
kind
of
digest
that
with
the
counselor,
should
we
stick
with
the
SATs
and
take
the
SATs?
Should
we
try
the
acts?
Should
we
try?
A
diagnostic
of
both?
Is
this
a
student
who's
possibly
going
to
be
test
optional?
A
A
They
are
for
seniors
only,
and
it
is
for
a
number
of
reasons.
One
is
that
we
need
to
prioritize
our
seniors.
Getting
having
the
face
time
with
the
college
representatives
and
two
is
that
our
teachers
do
not
like
the
students
being
out
of
the
class
when
they're
in
junior
year.
They
want
them
in
the
classes
and
so
we're
honoring
that
so
I
would
say.
You
know
just
wait.
Wait
till
senior
year,
yeah.
I
C
D
I
A
To
my
age,
going
digital
is
like
horrific,
but
I,
understand,
I,
think
I.
Think
it's
going
to
cut
down
on
errors,
I
think
it's
students
more
have
they
have
control
more
over
time.
They
can
go
back
and
forth
to
different
questions,
there's
a
way
to
indicate
and
flag.
If
they
don't
know
something
to
go
to
go
back
to
it
and
so
I
think
it's
just
going
to
be
more
user
friendly,
it's
more
in
the
world
that
they
currently
live
in.
It's
you
know
it's
much
more.
What
they're
accustomed
to
I
think
there's
going
to
be.
A
You
know
bumps
in
the
road,
but
I
do
know
that
we've
been
doing
district-wide
we've
been
doing
our
our
testing.
Our
state
testing
digitally
without
issue.
I
know
that
they
put
in
you
know
a
whole
bunch
of
just
different
wireless
routers
and
everything
else.
I
I
don't
expect
to
have
difficulty,
but
at
the
same
time
the
first,
the
first
run
of
anything
is
always
a
little
bit
difficult,
but
luckily,
at
fire
impels
we
only
do
the
PSAT.
A
Center,
they
would
have
their
ducks
that
are
out
for
something
like
that,
like
that,
because
that's
a
lot
of
students,
if
there's
going
to
be
an
irregularity,
that
that's
not
good
so
but
yeah
I
think
we're
going
to
all
do
this
the
first
round
and
then
digest
it.
What
went
well,
what
didn't
go
so
well
and
then
obviously
we
have
until
the
springtime
to
make
any
necessarily
changes
for
the
SAT
and
ACT.
A
How
to
thank
you
for
coming
and
for
a
great
discussion
and
appreciate
I
think
I
actually
have
some
good
feedback
on
some
things
that
possibly
can
add
to
this
and
even
topics
in
the
future.
But
if
there's
anything
that
you
would
ever
like
to
share
with
me
or
just
like
to
see
at
one
of
these
I'd
love
to
hear
from
you
and
I.
Thank
you
for
coming
out
and
supporting
the
role
of
the
school
counselor
at
Byron
house.
