JHS Juniors see this information regarding Rose State's Junior Preview Day With COVID considerations and school schedules coming into play as Rose State Student Engagement approaches our Junior Preview Day, we have decided to adapt our schedule. Instead of having one Junior Preview Day from 8:30-1:30, we have chosen to split the day into 2 smaller Junior Preview Spotlights from 9am-12pm. We are keeping our original date of Friday, February 26th, but also adding Wednesday, February 24th as a second option for students. If students cannot attend either of these dates, or do not feel comfortable in person, we do have a Virtual Option available. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and informative environment to help Juniors interested in Rose State in making the best possible decision for their academic future! We will have lunch, games, and presentations about Rose State College. Feel free to add this flyer and the following registration link to your Google Classrooms and Counselor Corners, or send via email to your students. We hope to see your Juniors on our campus soon!
