Don’t forget to attend the PROBE College Fair with your student on Tuesday, September 20 from 6:00-8:30 at the Classic Center in downtown Athens.  There will be over 100 colleges from Georgia and the Southeast represented.  This is a wonderful opportunity for Freshmen and Sophomores to see the variety of post-secondary options they have.  For Juniors and Seniors, PROBE is a chance to start narrowing down what they are really looking for in a college.

If you are the parent of a Junior who intends to take the SAT this year, the best practice and feedback to prepare them for the test can be gotten by retaking the PSAT.  Not only will they get back a score, they will also get access to an online customized study guide to prepare them for the SAT.  Students can sign up with Joyce Oliver in the front office and the cost is $16.
