Snow Day & Registration Reminder

I absolutely LOVE snow days! I think the snow is beautiful... from the comfort of my home. :-) And, actually, I think there is nothing more joyful as a kid (and adult for that matter) than the added bonus of an unexpected day off where you don't have anywhere to go, nothing that you have to do, and you have the freedom and flexibility to spend the day doing whatever fills you with joy.

What might that look like? Sleeping in. Reading. Making/ eating yummy food. Listening to music. Cleaning your room. Checking something off your "to-do" list that has been hanging over your head for too long, but you just haven't had time to do it. Participating in a hobby - making something, building something, creating something, coloring/ drawing, playing your instrument, etc. Watching a movie. Catching up on your favorite shows. Snuggling with your pets or teaching them a new trick. Playing in the snow. Shoveling the snow for your family or your neighbors. Drinking hot chocolate. Sitting under a blanket beside a fire.

I feel like the options are endless... and wow, when I read through the list I just wrote, all of that would be a pretty incredible way to fill your bonus day off.

Perhaps you're trying to be productive and check some things off your school to-do list. I have a few reminders there for you as well...

• Register for your classes for next school year! The online registration window is now open so there is no better time to hop online and select the classes you want to take next year.
• Seniors, many of you attended the Scholarship Senior Seminar on Thursday morning, this is a great time to start working on some of those scholarship applications.
• Complete your YouScience assessment. Or, if you already did it, spend some time exploring your strengths in the aptitude section and the potential career matches in the career section. If you haven't done the YouScience brain games yet or if you are ready to look more at your results, you can get there through HelloID.
• If you're planning to participate in CC+ next year, apply to your intended college.
• Juniors, sign up for your 1:1 meeting time with your counselor. (Invitations were sent to your email, but we have links to all of the counselor appointments on the Counselor website).

Even though we have a snow day, the time to schedule your classes for next year is still this week. So please be sure that you do focus on that at some point in this coming week. Remember, next week we will meet with every Freshman and Sophomore student and we will review all of your course requests and answer any of your questions too.

Enjoy your day off tomorrow. Please stay warm, safe, and try to do something that brings you joy in your bonus day off!
