College-bound Badgers, mark your calendars
October 18, 2017
Any students interested in taking dual credit courses so as to earn college credits while still in high school, saving big tuition dollars at the same time, need to meet with counselor Bonners Ferry High School advanced opportunities counselor Jennifer Mackey soon!

And students with an eye toward college after graduating BFHS, as well as their parents, might want to mark down a couple of impending dates as well.

Parent Information Night for seniors and juniors is right around the corner! It will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, November 2, at the high school. Topics including admissions, financial aid, ACT/SAT testing and more will be presented.

Idaho College Application Week is November 6-9! Seniors will be applying to a post-secondary institution during their government class on Monday. If a student doesn't have government, they need to meet with Mrs. Mackey as soon as possible.

College Application Week is an event coordinated by The Office of the State Board of Education.

More than 80 high schools in Idaho participate. All 50 states and District of Columbia are part of this nation-wide initiative to provide every graduating senior the opportunity to apply to college.

The state has waived application fees to certain schools within the state, so for many students, making the application is free. On Monday, November 6, students will need to know their social security number and know which schools they want to apply to.


As part of Idaho College Application Week, Bonners Ferry High School will be hosting its FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) Frenzy Nights on Monday and Thursday, November 6 and 9. These will take place during Student Teacher Conferences, so that seniors and their parents can make the most of their visit. There will be a representative from NIC present to answer questions regarding the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

To learn more, call Mrs. Mackey at (208) 267-3149 extension 1107, or email jennifer.mackey@mail.bcsd101.com.
