CVHS 9th grade email update for November 21st, 2009
General Info:
- From Mrs. Chapman: Please make sure your student completes the registration
process for PrepHq. Each 9th grade student was given a handout with directions
for registration and the benefits of the program on Monday. PrepHq allows
the counselors to communicate via email with students and parents regarding
college, community service, scholarships, etc. Students were also given
a handout for completing the interest inventories for the Kuder College
and Career Planning system. In order to complete the Kuder system, students
must first register in PrepHq in order to receive the required codes to
complete the interest inventories. Codes will be emailed on Tuesday afternoon.
It is imperative that every 9th grade student register for PrepHq and failure
to do so may limit the information they receive from the college center.
The Kuder system is located at www.tbecachievetexas.com
and while the inventories are not mandatory, they are extremely beneficial
to students and parents for planning for the future.
