Attention Students and Parents:

On February 10, 2008, College Goal Sunday will be held at various locations area wide to assist students and their families in completing the FAFSA form required for applying for financial aid.  This is a free program which will run from 1:30-4:30pm.  More information can be found at www.collegegoalsundayct.org.   You can also contact representatives by email at info@collegegoalsundayct.org or call 1-888-277-2270 for more information.

Program officials are asking that the following items be brought:

Senior Parents:

This years' FAFSA forms will no longer be sent to our office.  A PDF version of the FAFSA is available on the web for students to submit for processing.

Students and Parents can access the PDF version by going to www.FSAPubs.org.  FAFSA forms can start to be submitted after January 1, 2008

An additional Federal Student Aid website is www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov.  

Parents:

If you attended our Grade 9 and 10 Developmental Parent program on Wednesday, November 14th at the high school, could you please take a moment to fill out the evaluation form attached and send it back to Mrs. Deborrah Ramirez at dramirez@berlinschools.org. This way the counselors will be better able to make sure that we are meeting parental needs for school programming.

Thanks so very much.
