“For last year's words belong to last year's language. And next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.”

FWHS & FLHS COLLEGE ADMISSIONS PANEL

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 2018

6:30 P.M. FAIRFIELD WARDE AUDITORIUM

A panel of six experienced college admissions officers will discuss how various colleges go about the process of selecting their students for admission to their schools. Each will give a ten minute overview of their institution and discuss how they review applications, the criteria they believe are important, and how they make their final selections to build a class each year.

The six schools represent a very diverse group of colleges. The presenters have experiences at a number of colleges and varied backgrounds. Their comments—while specific to their individual schools—will also give parents and students an insight into admissions at similar schools and the entire application and admissions process.

After their presentations, admissions officers will answer questions from parents and students.

OUR PANEL:

Chloe Sigillito – Fordham University

Bill Chagnon – Norwalk Community College

Kim Bornstein – University of Connecticut

Milena Carrese – Marist College

Alexa Oberle – Sacred Heart University

Ann Fleming Brown – Union College

Jarrett Saunders – University of Massachusetts Amherst

The evening will be informative and valuable for juniors and their parents, as well as underclassmen and their parents: it is never too early to start thinking about post high school plans. Please join us!

LOST & FOUND

Lost and found items will be on display in the hallway by the Main Office during winter break. Please come and claim your lost items.

PTA RELECTIONS CONTEST

The PTA Reflections Contest is underway. Entries will be due during the first week of January. Students should submit their entries directly to Mrs. Scatenato in Room P11 (this is a change from prior years). This is a contest that asks students to envision and create works (art, music, literary, film, dance) based on a single theme. This year’s theme is “Within reach”. Fairfield Warde has had many students place and win awards in this contest over the years. Any questions? Contact Mrs. Scatenato at .

HOMEWORK HELP

Starting Wednesday, October 25th, the Homework Help program will return. The program will run from 2:15pm-3:45pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays in the Academic Center in the Learning Commons. Students can receive extra help or support, or just access a quiet environment for work completion.

NOTICE ABOUT ADMISSION TO GAMES

In order to offset some of the extra costs for supervision that is required at some of our athletic contests, we will be charging admission for these games for both adults and students. The price for adults will still be $5 and the price for students will now be $3. This practice is consistent with most of the schools in our league.

We are charging admission at the following games this year:

All varsity football games

All varsity boys basketball games

All Warde vs. Ludlowe contests that require extra supervision

All FCIAC and CIAC playoff games

Any other game that additional supervision is required
