News from LTHS Counseling Office
| 
If you are signed up for an AP test, you MUST attend a Pre-administration session. If you must miss this session, you MUST see Ms. Clark in the counseling office.
The sessions will take place during Cav Time. Please note the date and place per grade level: April 19th: 9th grade in the Recital Hall in the Annex April 19th: 12th grade in the PAC April 20th: 10th grade in the PAC April 21st: 11th grade in the PAC
A Note from Austin Community College for Parents & Students:  We're getting the word out about our enrollment event, Destination ACC: Saturday, and wanted to make sure your family has all the pertinent info. Destination ACC: Saturday is a great chance for students and parents to get one-on-one help with every step of the ACC enrollment process. It helps students know their options at ACC, and allows them to complete the enrollment process in as little as one day. Whether your student is interested in earning a degree, training for a career, or getting ahead with transfer classes, Destination ACC: Saturday is designed to help get them to the next step in that process.
The events take place on the Saturdays of April 30, May 7, and May 15 at our Round Rock, Highland and Riverside campuses. For Lake Travis Parents & Students, we have our own Tom Clark, ACC Advisor, here on our campus the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. To schedule an appointment with Tom, please call Jan Kalb in the LTHS counseling office.
