At Resurrection Christian School Online (RCS Online), we are committed to guiding our students toward success in every aspect of their educational journey. As part of this commitment, we are thrilled to introduce a new initiative: Weekly College Planning Letters for our juniors. This program is designed to provide consistent support and guidance as they navigate the complex world of college preparation.
Why Weekly College Planning Letters?
We recognize that the path to college can be overwhelming, with numerous decisions, deadlines, and requirements to manage. By sending out weekly letters, we aim to break down the process into manageable steps, ensuring that our juniors remain on track throughout the year.
These letters will cover various critical aspects of college planning, including:
- Exploring Career Interests: Helping students identify potential career paths and the college majors that align with their passions and strengths.
- College Selection: Providing tips on researching and choosing the right colleges, including information about campus visits (virtual or in-person), admissions criteria, and more.
- Application Process: Offering guidance on completing college applications, writing essays, and gathering necessary documents like transcripts and recommendation letters.
- Scholarships and Financial Aid: Educating students about scholarship opportunities, the FAFSA, and other financial aid resources to help make college more affordable.
- Testing Information: Sharing updates on SAT and ACT, including registration deadlines and preparation strategies.
How It Works
Starting this month, juniors will receive a detailed letter each week via email. Each letter will focus on a specific topic, providing actionable steps and resources to help students stay organized and proactive in their college planning efforts.
We believe that consistent communication and structured guidance can significantly ease the college preparation process for both students and their families. This initiative is just one of the many ways we at RCS Online are working to ensure our students are well-prepared for their next big step.
Staying Engaged
To maximize the benefit of these letters, we encourage students and parents to:
- Read each letter thoroughly and discuss the content together.
- Keep track of important dates and deadlines mentioned in the letters.
We are excited about the positive impact these weekly letters will have on our juniors. By providing consistent guidance and breaking down the college planning process, we hope to make this important phase less daunting and more empowering for our students.
