Normally Josten’s comes to the building to hand out packet’s of information and to assist with orders, but for now Josten’s is not allowed in the building at all due to Covid restrictions.  However, you’re all quite internet savvy so use these links instead:

You’ll see that the most basic package is $59.00, and you can certainly add more to your order if you’d like.  So look over this information with your parents and decide what’s best for you.  You’ll order that stuff directly with Jostens, not through our business office, and should direct any questions to them as well.

Top Five reasons to attend a virtual meeting with a college or University admissions office.

 

1. Get the scoop on everything you need to know to apply for admission and financial aid.
2. Small group interaction allows you to ask questions, get to know what they offer, and share your interests. You may discover a college or University that you had not considered before and learn that it could be a great fit for you.
3. It’s a great opportunity to ask for an application fee waiver. Admissions reps may have a waiver code or be willing to look for your application submission and waive the fee when you attend a meeting with them. Definitely ask!
4. Meeting with a the college admissions representative demonstrates your interest and may give you a small boost in the application process.
5. Occasionally the meeting may include current students and that gives you a great opportunity to learn what it’s like to be a student at the college or University.
