Tuesday, February 9, 2010: “Babies Driving Robots....in Del-aware!”; Cole Galloway, PT, PhD, Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, University of Delaware.

What would be the effect on your brain and behavior if you had to wait to be moved everywhere you wanted to go? Dr. Galloway will outline a landmark project that uses robotics to help small children explore their world. This summer, CSW students helped out, and we are looking for more students who are interested in science, robotics, and helping children and families all over the world. Dr. Gal-loway will be bringing one or more of the young children and their families in addition to their experimental devices. Our CSW students will also be participating.

Thursday, March 4, 2010 “Technology in the Future”; Bri-an W. Little, MD, PhD; VP Academic Affairs & Research; Christiana Care.

As computing power increases, the cost per megabyte for information storage decreases, and the ability for human-machine interfaces develop, we may reach a time when in-formation can be delivered to individuals instantaneously. Many of us may be unaware that this is happening. This information will be sorted or analyzed prior to communi-cation, based on the needs of the individual. Dr. Little will discuss the history, present state and future of human-com-puter interfaces, and look at some of the implications for education, learning and behavior

GUIDANCE UPDATE

SATs/ACTs/SAT IIsStudents may register on-line for the SAT at www.collegeboard.com. Please remember to code in Charter’s high school code number 080164 when regis-tering. The CSW Guidance office needs an official copy of the score report. Please remember that, for a fee, students can order the Question and Answer Service, which allows them to receive their test back, their reported answers and the answer key for certain months only. Registra-tion for the SAT II: Subject Tests, which some colleges re-quire for admission, is also available. These are one hour tests so students can take up to three in one day. Seniors should remember to list their colleges on the registra-tion form or shortly after the test date. This way, they can ensure that colleges will most likely receive their scores electronically within two weeks from the test date. Other-wise, it might be three to five weeks before the college re-ceives your score. Students may also register for the ACT, an achievement test used for college admissions, prefer-ably the one with the essay. Registration is available on-line at www.act.org. There are many reputable colleges, which have decided to make standardized testing op-tional for admission purposes. This list can be found on www.fairtest.org.

Please note that some colleges are now logging in how students show interest in attending a specific college. One indicator is how early the students officially send their SAT score to the admissions office. It can be in the stu-dent’s best interest to utilize the four “freebie” mailings offered by College Board and/or the ACT company when registering for each test.

Students who qualify for 504 testing accommodations and have not seen their counselor should do so. College Board requires that accommodations be in place at the high school for as long as three to five months prior to testing. Additional paperwork is required for requesting non-standard testing for any College Board program.

NCAA REQUIREMENTS FOR ATHLETESJuniors or seniors interested in playing sports at a Division I or II college should go to www.NCAAclearinghouse.net and register on-line so their academic eligibility can be determined. An official transcript needs to be requested and mailed from the high school. Final transcripts for both junior and senior years will automatically be sent to the NCAA for all registered students. Students must also have their SAT or ACT scores officially sent from College Board.

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATIONFor all students requesting financial aid, both par-ents and students will need to complete the FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov), which is now available on the web. Start with the 2010-2011 FAFSA draft. This worksheet should be used to prepare for the online FAFSA form. When you first register online to complete the FAFSA, both students and parents will have to receive a PIN num-ber. Completing forms online can save students at least two to three weeks processing time. Students should pay attention to the deadline indicated by each college as to the submission of the FAFSA.

For some colleges, additional forms on their website may be required. The most popular is the CSS/PROFILE (www.collegeboard.com), which can be completed after October 1. Check college websites for deadlines as well as forms. Please note that families should use the 2010-2011 version as that will be the first year in college.

N.B. The University of Delaware will now fulfill 100% of documented need (as defined by the FAFSA) for all ac-cepted in-state students. They also plan on “capping” stu-dent loans over four years to $18,000.

Often colleges will offer reduced fees or waivers for stu-dents from families suffering economic hardship (inde-pendently of whether you receive free or reduced lunches or state subsidies). Some scholarship programs specifi-cally target such students. If your child falls within this category, please contact the guidance counselor and in-form them of such circumstances. Also, there is subsi-dized health insurance for students pending family cir-cumstances. For more information on that topic, contact The Wellness Center at 651-2100.

Seniors who have a diagnosed disability of any sort can apply for state funding through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. This state organization can assist students in diverse ways so that a college education is affordable, along with providing any accommodations for the dis-ability. For more information, contact 761-8275.

DELAWARE RESIDENT SCHOLARSHIPSAll seniors have received a Delaware Scholarship Com-pendium, which is printed and distributed by the DE Postsecondary Commission. This is also available on www.doe.state.de.us/dhec. Please note that a database of many scholarships is listed on the Guidance Depart-ment’s website. Announcements are also made in home-room, posted outside the office and within each coun-selor’s office. Students are also encouraged to register on additional scholarship sites as listed on the website handouts distributed last spring (e.g. fastweb.org, colleg-eboard.com, etc.).

SEED SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLEDon’t forget that the state of DE offers a full two year scholarship for any DE student who graduates with a 2.5 GPA and enrolls in the Associate’s degree program, ei-ther at Del Tech or the U of DE. Students must have re-ceived their high school diploma, not have committed a felony, and completed the FAFSA (whether or not they have need). No additional forms are needed for the SEED scholarship if applying to the U of DE. Del Tech has a one page SEED scholarship form on their website.

COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE LETTERS DUECopies of all acceptance letters should be given to the guidance office. This includes any college to which a stu-dent has been accepted, not just their first choice school. If a student receives scholarship offers from colleges that have already accepted him or her, please bring a copy of the letter to Mrs. Fiscella in guidance. This also includes copies of scholarship offers from organizations, compa-nies or the state of Delaware. Any documentation of gift aid based on financial need should also be brought into the office. For graduation purposes, the guidance office documents the types of gift aid offered to Charter stu-dents. Deadline for submission is May 17.

SUMMER COLLEGE PROGRAMSCharter has a file for all summer program opportunities as the information is received. Some programs are tuition or room/board free or scholarships are available. Check the guidance website for current listings sent to Charter or the individual college’s website.

The University of Delaware holds a summer college for highly motivated juniors and sophomores each year for five weeks (July 10 – August 14). Students live on cam-pus and earn up to seven credits by taking freshmen level courses. The Summer College experience usually coin-cides with the regular second summer session offered on campus. This will allow for a broader selection of courses for students enrolled in the program. An information ses-sion for students will be held on February 9 during the school day. For more information, visit the website at www.udel.edu/summercollege during the month of Janu-ary or call 831-6560.

The United States military academies host leadership summer seminars designed for students who are potential recruits. Admission is competitive. Juniors can log onto the individual websites to learn more about the applica-tion process. Deadlines are earlier than usual and selec-tions are made on a rolling basis so it is best for students to apply early. Only students who are interested in apply-ing to the military academy should consider attending.

HIGH SCHOOL CONSERVATION CREW SUMMER WORK

The National Student Conservation Association is look-ing for interested student volunteers, ages 15-18, to work in our national parks and forests over the summer. This is a three to five week tuition-free summer service oppor-tunity to work on a conservation project, (building trails, shelters, bridges, restoring habitats, and maintaining historic sites.) If interested, students can apply online at www.thesca.org. Priority deadline is March 1.

TROOPER YOUTH WEEK IN JUNEStudents interested in a career in law enforcement can consider enrolling in the free week long program at the DE State Police Training Academy normally held the last full week in June. There is no charge for room and board. As applications are due in May, see Guidance in the future for more information or contact your local state police headquarters for more information.

JUNIOR PARENT NIGHT IN MARCHOn Monday, March 15 from 6:30 – 9 p.m. in the auditorium, featured speaker and author Peter Van Buskirk will pres-ent “The College Admission Game”. Mr. Van Buskirk is a former director of admissions at Franklin & Marshall Col-lege and now lectures nationally on the selective college admissions process. He will present an educational and entertaining program regarding this topic. We have invit-ed him back for the ninth year as he does an excellent job of helping parents and students understand the admis-sions decision process. ALL junior families will receive an educational packet that night regarding the search and application process within Charter. Our speaker will also have handouts for you. Since juniors arrive later for school the next day due to DSTP testing for ninth and tenth graders, we hope that all families will be

represented. Juniors and their parents are asked to RSVP to confirm attendance by calling either Ms. Maslar at x206 or Mrs. Fiscella at x204. Mark you calendar now! You can read more about Mr. Van Buskirk online at www.theadmissionsgame.com.

Ms. Maslar will be meeting with juniors in their history classes during the third marking period about the college application process. Students and parents are encour-aged to make an appointment with Ms. Maslar after mid-terms. Preferably, juniors should request a meeting first, prior to the parent meeting.

COLLEGE TOUR AMTRAK DISCOUNTSAmtrak is offering a “buy one, get one half price” deal when parents and students purchase tickets in order to visit colleges. Tickets must be purchased seven days in ad-vance. Additional children may travel at a 50% discount. This offer is valued through the calendar year with a few black out dates. For more information, go online or call 1-800-USA-RAIL.

COLLEGE FAIRSNational and regional fairs are held throughout the year. The following websites are useful in searching for these: www.nacac.org, www.pacac.org, and www.ctcl.com.

SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATIONSenior boys are reminded that they must register with Se-lective Service when they turn eighteen or they may pre-register now if they like. Without this registration, boys will not be eligible for federal funding for college which includes the Pell Grant or federally subsidized student loans. Students may register on the web at www.sss.gov or through the FAFSA form.

FRESHMEN AND JUNIOR CLASSROOM GUIDANCE VISITS

don’t build on their curiosity.” ~Jerome Pine

The “WHAT IN THE WORLD?” career awareness program, sponsored by the Business, Industry,

“mystery object” shown to students, stimulating interest and prompting questions.

will have the opportunity to take part in “WHAT IN THE WORLD?” We would like you to become involved by

volunteering as a presenter in your student’s school on those days.

If you would like to volunteer, there are only a few requirements:

1. You need to have an enthusiasm to share your career and its use of Math, Science or

Technology with the students.

2. You need to be available to be at the school from 8:00 - 10:00 on one or both days.

3. You need to complete the form below and return it to BIE Alliance at 226 West Park Place,
