 "I'm
Going to College!" 2003-2004
Activities Santa Fe Springs
Education-Business-Community Partnership
| Parent Meetings |
Six parent meetings are planned for the "I'm
Going to College!" program in Santa Fe Springs. They
will be held in the middle schools of Little Lake and Los
Nietos School Districts. The meetings are geared to
parents of children in the 6th grades attending Lake Center,
Lakeside and Los Nietos Middle Schools. The goal of
having these parent meetings is to make sure that those
parents begin to plan for their child's college education.
Topics to be discussed will include financial planning, the
California college System and how to help their child develop
good study habits. Guest speakers have been invited for
each meeting to share their expertise. Parents are also
encouraged to network in order to learn about community and
school resources that are available to them. |
| Student Visits to Colleges |
6th grade students in Santa Fe Springs school
districts will be taken on field trips to 2 and 4 year
institutions during this academic year. There they can
interact with both students and faculty and be able to ask
pertinent questions in order tobe able to make their career
choices early. |
| College Boot Camp |
Due to the success of last year's College Boot
Camp held at Rio Hondo College, students will again be given
an opportunity to take courses at Rio Hondo as well as have an
intensive week where they will learn time management,
test taking skills, goal setting strategies, etc. It is hoped
that by exposing them early to a college environment they will
realize the tools they need to develop to be successful there. |
