Please encourage your student to consider getting ahead by enrolling in college concurrent classes. Enrollment for the Spring semester will be here quickly!
GEAR UP can assist with the cost of concurrent fees and books with agreement to some terms and conditions for both parent and student.
See attached flyers for more details!
IF your student is currently enrolled through NEO, there is a mandatory parent and student meeting Wednesday, September 6th at 5:30 pm at JHS.
IF your student is not currently enrolled and you just want to learn how GEAR UP can pay for books and fees, please attend.
All the Best as your Student starts this new school year and GEARs Up for College!
