Editorial - "The Process" Schedule
SCHEDULE
>>
it can’t be stress
enough for the need to allot sufficient time in the necessary research,
preparation and scheduling of the many tasks involved in the private
school admissions process. Time reduces the inherent stress associated
with the selection process and increases the odds in finding a school that
will fulfill all of your student's needs.
Organization is the key
element that will make the difference for both you and your student.
Coordinating the many tasks involved in getting accepted into a private
school, along with your student’s current academic workload and
extracurricular activities can become overwhelming if a schedule is not
developed and adhered to.
Private school
admissions information should be reviewed and a calendar established
immediately to keep track of test dates, open houses, interviews and other
social functions that are hosted by schools to inform parents and their
students.
Knowing exactly where
each application, invitation and reference document is located; knowing
what needs to be read, scheduled, studied, paid, mailed or delivered; and
knowing who needs to be where and why, is paramount to the success of your
student’s acceptance into the school of their choice.
Set up a system – computer, file, desk top, box – where
information is kept and easily retrieved. Post a centrally located
calendar clearly noting appointments and due dates (the refrigerator is an
excellent location.) Remember, organization saves time and reduces stress. |
