4 Pine Lake s College Planning Model Our Primary Goal: To help students identify their interests, abilities and goals in order to find the right college match and fit Our Purpose: To ensure that each student with the desire to go to college has both the CHANCE and CHOICE
5 How do students engage in the college planning process at PLP? Participating in classroom college planning sessions Attending events (i.e. College Planning Night, College Fair, Career Fair, Alumni Day, college rep visits, college bus tours, Financial Aid Planning Night, college Panel Discussion) Exploring PLP s College Planning Website Interacting one-on-one with their college planner Utilizing Naviance
6 Naviance - Online College Planning Hub Personality / learning style inventory, college research tools, ACT test prep, career area matching, goal-setting Track college applications, get scholarship info, request transcripts and recommendation letters Students receive individual accounts and parents access through their child s username/password Used in classroom college planning, but should also be used at home in order to reap full benefits
7 Naviance Activities for Freshmen Do What You Are - assesses your child s personality type, learning styles, strengths, blindspots, and suggests potential careers and majors Supermatch College Search - helps students begin searching for colleges based on 23 criteria. Compares choices and pins their favorites for later Explore the Roadtrip Nation video archive. Interviews of people around the globe who do what they love. Everything from skateboarding to rocket science. Gets students thinking and dreaming about their future. Set GPA goals
8 College Planning Begins Now! The college planning process is a four year journey that starts the first day of your freshman year College admission is largely based on freshman, sophomore and junior years Scholarships are based on all four years College admission revocation is based on senior year progress (report cards and/or final transcript)
9 From here on out EVERYTHING counts! EVERYTHING matters! Grades Course selections Test scores Attendance Extracurricular activities Behavior Character Work ethic Study skills Time Management
10 General College Planning Timeline 9th Grade - Whitney Triplett Get involved (clubs, athletics, etc.) and stay involved for multiple years Service learning - depth not breadth Earn good grades and set GPA goals Rely on parents less to keep you on track start taking more responsibility Begin researching colleges and career pathways
11 General College Planning Timeline 9th Grade - Whitney Triplett College visits - so important - do not put this off until later Continue (start) saving $$$ (NC 529 plan) Browse information on Pine Lake s college planning website and CFNC Complete all Naviance tasks

15 8th Grade Registration Timeline Mr. Scholl and Mr. Moceri will work through registration in the 8th grade classrooms before the registration process begins Registration will be delayed from last year as we establish the new system in Homebase. Families will be notified when we are starting the process.
16 Registration Important Documents Each will be available on the Upper School page under "Registration " Registration Timeline Course Offerings Curriculum Guide 9th Grade Course Recommendations Upper School Planning Worksheet
17 Course Selection Affects College Acceptance Did you: Take rigorous courses? Do well in those rigorous courses? Take only the minimum or did you go above expectations? Choose courses in which you were interested and in which you would do well?
18 Course Selection continued... Counselor recommendation component of the college application asks to what degree of rigor students' high school courses demonstrate Colleges want to see a depth of courses in a subject area, if possible Remember PLP requires more than the minimum North Carolina College Admission requirements
19 Course Selection continued PLP offers only ONE diploma type and it is the most academically rigorous of the nine NC diplomas that are available at most traditional high schools ALL courses in the PLP Upper School are college prep courses and highly rigorous Standard-level college prep Honors-level college prep Advanced Placement ("AP") college-level courses
20 Which level is right for my child? Take as challenging a course load as you can handle and still maintain a successful balance between school, extracurriculars, and family/friends Students are encouraged to take honors courses in subjects that they really enjoy AND are strong in academically It is not advised that students take all honors courses UNLESS they are willing to put in the necessary time and work...for many students this often means a substantial sacrifice of cutting back on athletics, clubs, jobs, etc. in order to maintain A's and B's
21 Standard vs. Honors In standard classes the discussions, compositions, and assessments will include: analysis application comparison and contrast contribution to in-class activities evaluation group presentations research based projects In honors classes the discussions, compositions, and assessments will include all required of standard level students, as well as evidence of higher level thinking such as: classification synthesis justification individual project presentations to follow outside literature studies
22 Dual Enrollment (Career and College Promise Program) What parents and students need to know
23 Real college courses in high school Dual enrollment = student is enrolled in high school and college simultaneously. Receive both high school AND college credit.
