Guidance and Counseling Center

(information for parents and students)

Counselors are not in the office from 11:00-12:30 due to lunch supervision.  They can be contacted during regular school hours.

 

SAT I, SAT II, or ACT

     Scores Needed by All Colleges

                  Each college to which you send an application will need an official report of your SAT I, SAT II, or ACT scores (including each UC campus).  To have your scores sent to your colleges, use the official request form available in the Guidance and Counseling Office.

                  The December 7 SAT (I & II) is the last date that the UC system will consider for scores.  The late registration deadline is November 13, but you may go “stand by” and show up on the morning of the test.  There is a “stand- by” fee of $30 in addition to the regular fee.  The SAT I / SAT II registration booklet is available in the G&C office.  Fill out the registration form and take it with you that morning.  If you have any questions, please see the G&C secretary.

 

Return to Contents of Part 3

 

Common Application available in Guidance and Counseling Office

             Copies of the Common Application are available in the G&C Center from the secretary, Mrs. Jacobacci.  Please “xerox” and do your preliminary work on practice copies so as not to waste applications.  The same suggestion goes for the UC and CSU applications we make available to you.

 

Note: The Common Application can be downloaded from the internet at www.commonapp.org.

 

Booklets Help with College Planning

             This is a reminder that the Guidance and Counseling Center, in addition to working with students to plan their course curriculum, is the center for invaluable information regarding colleges in our state and around the country.

             You should also know about the following helpful booklets.  These will assist in the sometimes intimidating adventure of selecting the high school courses that will satisfy the requirements of colleges to which your student will eventually apply.  The distribution schedule is as follows:

             9th, 10th & 11th Grades: LJHS Handbook (red, 8 1/2 x 11” booklet) — This handbook is very comprehensive, lists high school graduation requirements, as well as all courses available at LJHS to assist in planning your student’s class schedule for the coming year.  Distributed in spring.

             10th Grade: High School Graduation 10th Grade Review Packet (white with colored photos on cover, 8 1/2 x 11” booklet) — This booklet provided by the District is also very comprehensive.  Its purpose is to review the four-year educational plan developed for the student in the eighth grade, and possibly amend that plan to achieve his/her goals in the final two years of high school.  Distributed in spring.

Teacher Recommendations

             A request for a recommendation letter from a teacher should be made by the student directly to the teacher.  For each recommendation letter, a stamped envelope addressed by the student to the college is required.  Students should be sure to send each teacher a thank you note.

 

School Bulletin a Good Resource

             It is very important that all students have access to the school’s twice-weekly bulletin.  The bulletin is an excellent source of information for college visits, scholarships, and other campus activities.  In addition to being read in second period classes, it is posted in the office window and on the Guidance and Counseling Center bulletin board.  You may read it from home by visiting http://ljhs.sandi.net and linking to “Parent Information,” then “Bulletin.”

 

Request Final Transcripts in June

                  Every college requires a final transcript.  Before graduation in June, request a transcript (25¢) from the registrar, Mrs. Solberg, to be sent to the school you will attend.  Please give her an envelope, stamped with first class postage (currently 37¢), addressed to the Admissions Office at your college.
