GUIDANCE NEWSThe Guidance Office has been busy processing over 400 college application. Many applications have been submitted via our new on-line transmission service. This allows the colleges to get the students’ transcripts and supporting materials much quicker. Parent email addresses were entered in our college/career planning program which allows us to keep in touch regarding important deadlines and meetings. Attendance at the junior parent meeting held in early November was very high due to the email reminders. All local scholarships are also listed in this program with application forms for our seniors’ use. Our teachers have been extremely cooperative writing numerous letters of recommendations for our students to enhance their college applications. Now that the first marking period grades are posted, counselors are meeting with students to discuss ways for improvement. The Ocean City Observatory 
The Observatory Project is gaining momentum with the final recent approval from Green Acres. It has been miles of red tape and collaboration between NJDOE, the City of Ocean City and the OC Board of Education. Our final leg involves the financial dedication of our community. We are presently looking for club, family and corporate sponsors to share the expense of the actual observatory dome. This is an amazing endeavor in which students, staff, community and industry get to join forces on an unsurpassed addition to our city. This is a university style observatory that will be used by students, families, First Night, astronomy clubs and visiting colleges.
