October is College Awareness Month, and to celebrate, Jackson-Reed’s College and Career Coordinators, Ms. Levenson and Mr. Reeves, will be hosting two events on Thursday evening, October 12th.

From 5:00-6:00 pm, in the College and Career Center, we invite all Spanish speaking families to join us for a general information session on the college process. Topics to be covered include how to access and navigate Naviance (college platform), documents and information needed for the college application process, and how to go about the college search. Our college experts and translators will be available to answer any questions you may have!

From 6:00-8:00 pm, there will be a College Fair held in the Atrium with the list of colleges attending below. We encourage students and families to research some of these schools to determine if they have programs and opportunities of your interest or just show up and ask!
