NEW TOOLS FOR STUDENTS & PARENTS
College Counseling has been working diligently to modernize and enhance our program. In collaboration with the Menlo Communications Department, we have developed two exciting tools located on the College Counseling website (under les) for the college search process.
l The College Visit Guide (CVG) is a llable PDF document that enables students to capture their thoughts in real time during their visits to college campuses. Students can use the document on
their phone and email the completed form to their personal email address
to save. VIEW
l The College Counseling Timeline (CCT) is a comprehensive monthly timeline of activities for students and parents
to complete over the course of a student’s high school career to educate, navigate, and successfully complete the college search process. VIEW
