We're excited to share a free event with Yale High School families this season.
Dear Seniors and Families,
Have you received your financial aid offer and wondered if there's anything else you can do? You're not alone: and there may be more options than you think.
You can learn how to increase your aid package, maximize scholarships, and choose the right loan options: and Juno's free webinar will show you exactly how.
At the webinar, we'll cover:
* How to increase your financial aid package
* How to maximize scholarships
* How to decide between different loan options
* Live Q&A — bring your questions!
All attendees will unlock Juno's free tools, and two families will be selected to win a $500 scholarship at the event.
Sunday, April 12th | 8:00 PM ET | Free https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6417738481823/WN_KyS_-SISQlOaJ2CJonEdLA

Big shout out to Bryson Ingle! We are so proud of this hardworking Kindergarten student! 👏
He has big goals, and is crushing it so far by learning 400 sight words! We can't wait to see you get all 1,000! 🐾🧡🖤
The baseball games scheduled today (4/2) have been canceled.
These amazing 2nd graders rose to the challenge and mastered it—reading an incredible 30 books in just one week!
Due to low water pressure, Central Tech will not have afternoon classes today, Thursday, April 2nd.
The geometry students working on a scavenger hunt while solving similar triangles. This activity helps the students solve similar triangle problems. They have to solve the problem before moving on to find the next card in the room. The benefit of this was after all cards were answered they ended up back where they started so it didn't matter what card they started on. The bonus was if they messed up, they would repeat a card and knew they messed up and to go back and resolve the cards before to make sure they had the right answer.
