Dear Seniors,

Are you interested in learning more about what a college has to offer?  Whether you have colleges in mind or perhaps you're curious as to what's out there, attending a virtual meeting with a College Admissions Representative may be beneficial.

This year, our College Admissions Rep visits will be held virtually and district-wide. We are working on getting the schedule uploaded to MaiaLearning so you can view the calendar and sign-up from your Maia accounts. Until then, you can view this list of upcoming visits (this doc can only be opened from a PPS email; please do not request access from a personal account) and join the visit using the zoom/google link in the document.
