Each month, we here in the Guidance Department hold meetings to share important information, tips, and suggestions with you as well as to answer any questions that you might have about navigating high school and the college application process. This month, our meeting topic is Advanced Placement Exam Registration.

These meetings are developed to offer support to our Keystone students and families and participation is highly encouraged. Below are the details about February's guidance meeting for currently enrolled students and their parents.

This is a mandatory webinar for all current Advanced Placement students and parents at The Keystone School. The registration process for May AP exams is fast approaching and we want to be sure you understand the steps necessary for a successful exam experience.

On Tuesday, November 9^th we held our monthly Orientation meeting for new students.  In attendance were approximately 25 people that included newly enrolled parents and students from our online high school and middle school program.

The purpose of the monthly orientation meeting is to give our new students and their parents an overview of how Keystone works, and also to answer any questions that they have about Keystone. 

One of the most important components to our discussion was about setting a schedule. I posed the question “How do we know where we are going if we haven’t decided where we want to be?”  Asking that question gets students to think about their end goal so that they can set mini goals along the way.

If you were unable to attend or just want to see what the Orientation meetings are about, here is the recording: http://tinyurl.com/Nov-Orientation-Meeting.
