Counselors’ Corner

On Monday, Nov. 26, counselors will meet with juniors to distribute AISD's "Focus On Your Future - High School Planning Guide for Students and Parents."  Please review the information with your student. We will be posting an online version of Focus On Your Future on www.lasaonline.org along with adapting certain sections to be more LASA-specific. You can also check it out at  http://www.austinisd.org/academics/sss/gc/focusonyourfuture_2005_2006.phtml   Continue to check for updates on this process in Lots Of LASA. Counselors will be meeting with freshmen and sophomores in December to review the Focus on Your Future materials.

LASA Financial Aid Night - Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria.  Come and hear a representative from Tx Guaranteed Students loans, and Mr. Sanchez discuss the financial aid process.

In the next week or two, we will post a more extensive calendar and agenda of online information and evening meetings that will be held beginning in January, including a PSAT Parent Night, a Scholarship Night, Junior Parents Night, and more.

Please check the Austin ISD website frequently for available scholarship opportunities.
