Weekly Update
Are you interested in applying to the University of Maine next year? If so, listen up!
On Tuesday, April 30th, an admissions counselor from UMaine will be at BHS to meet with juniors to review their transcripts. At that point, it’s possible he may give an offer of admission on the spot. AND, there are a limited number of scholarships available that he could award.
If you are interested in meeting with UMaine on April 30th, sign up in the counseling office. The admissions counselor will meet with individual juniors for 10-15 minutes and you will be excused from class during your interview with him.
Considering programs at Region #10 Technical Center for next school year? Check with your counselor for openings. Still interested? Follow the link below to complete the application. A follow up visitation will be scheduled so you can check out your program of interest and meet the instructors.
See Mrs. Moore in the Counseling Office if you have questions.
All students have access to this resource that BHS uses for a variety of purposes in the process of investigating career paths and post secondary education options. If students have not yet accessed their Naviance account, they should be doing this in Flex (juniors will be getting passwords next week, in the event your student hasn’t logged in yet).
All students can take a variety of surveys to investigate areas of interest and career pathways and eventually start their list of potential colleges to apply to as seniors.
How to access Naviance:
Naviance can be used to help explore careers and college options/searches. In grade 12 Naviance is used (as a data management tool) to send out all materials from BHS for college applications - including transcripts and letters of recommendation.
1. Go to the BHS Website
2. Select Explore on the top right of the page.
3. Under the Student Column, there is Naviance listed.
4. Type in 04011 for the zip code and select Brunswick High School
5. Usernames are the prefix of emails for BHS (do not include the @portion)
6. Passwords should have been set in Flex or when meeting with school counselors for grades 9 and 10, grade 11 students may have them now or will get them next week.
