• April 21: PTSA Meeting
  • At our April meeting we’ll be joined by Chelsey Thomas of Resonate College Consulting. Chelsey has worked as a school counselor at Garfield and Chief Sealth and works with 9th–12th grade students and their families to navigate the college process with less stress and more clarity. She’ll come give a presentation about: (1) what colleges look for today, (2) suggested timelines for 9th–12th graders, and (3) how working with a college counselor can make parents’ lives easier during this season. Please join us if you are interested in more information about college prep or have wondered about working with a college counselor more generally. You can join in person in the cafeteria and enjoy a bite or join the April PTSA Meeting via Zoom
