This LCFEF-sponsored panel discussion and Q&A is open to the public, but designed primarily for parents of 7th and 8th graders. The purpose of the evening is to help parents understand what needs to be known before students enter high school.
When do students enroll? What courses should they take? Do they need to take summer school? How do high school athletics work? What are colleges looking for? The panelists will include Jim Cartnal – La Canada High School Assistant Principal, Sally Spangler – La Canada High School College Counselor, Alison Dalbeck and Shannon Brasscia – 7/8 Counselors, Mark Rasic - Senior Associate Director of Undergraduate Admission at the University of Southern California, and Jinny Dalbek – LCFEF Summer School Chair.
