Vista Verde PTA will use their Take Your Family to School Week Funds to hold a “College Info” night. This event will host a variety of great informative sessions that are open to students and parents of the Vista Verde school community. College recruiters from different local universities will be brought on site to help answer any questions that parents and students may have as well as help answer questions about the financial aid process. The event will also host a keynote speaker that will speak about the importance to post-secondary education. To wrap up the event, students will have the opportunity to explore future career opportunities and parents will learn how to set up a financial aid account through the Department of Education Student Aid website. Teachers, students, and PTSA parents will be available to guide parents through the directions. The plan would be to have a ratio of 3 families to every guide, so no family feels lost or left out. In addition, we are already working on setting up a U.S. map in the board with labels of where each teacher received degrees.
