Colleges Visiting CHS... Just to Meet You! This is a GREAT way for you to check out colleges that you may be interested in. If you like what you hear, then you can go visit them to see if it might be a good fit for you. Take the time now to make a good decision later. Colleges coming soon.... stop in student services to check schedule. (You must sign up in student services to attend a meeting with a college representative.) Upcoming College Rep Visits Juniors & Seniors: Fall is a great time to meet the college reps and gather information about each college you are considering to attend. This year we are implementing a more strict policy to sign up for a college rep visit. We will advertise the dates on our blog, in the announcements, and in Scots Update. It is up to the student to check with their teacher to be sure they can miss the 45-60 minutes of class to attend the visit. Also, we are requiring that students sign up at least two days in advance of the scheduled visit to alleviate the last minute rush. This will allow us to prepare passes and schedule a room to accommodate the number of students we are expecting. Your cooperation will be appreciated! Be sure to sign up in Student Services TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE in order to have a pass out of class. We will be using Remind 101 this year, so when you sign up, please pick up the flyer with the phone number for that particular visit.
