Senior Retreat - Coming Up Soon!

We are very excited about the upcoming senior retreat. Over 40 students have picked up registration sheets. The retreat will take place Oct. 31-Nov. 3 at Eagle Crest Camp in Washburn.

Some neat facts about the retreat...
-- The retreat is four days in length and nearly 100% led by a group of six seniors.
-- This is the 27th retreat. Over 900 students have attended the retreat over the past thirteen years.
-- If a student would like to attend but cannot afford the retreat ($90), there are some partial and full scholarships available if the student comes to see one of the counselors.

Please see one of the counselors for a registration sheet. The sheets are due by this Friday but can be turned in early next week. See any counselor with questions.

PSAT/NMSQT October 10th, 2018

In addition, when you take the PSAT/NMSQT, you’re automatically screened for the National Merit® Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships.

For more information, visit NMSC's website or see the Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT or the Guide to the National Merit® Scholarship Program(for educators). The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) is a cosponsor of the PSAT/NMSQT.

There are 35 spots available. You can sign up with Mrs. Placher in the guidance office. The test will cost $16.00. Checks can be made out to IVC. Payment must be received before test day. We will test on October 10th, 2018 at 8:00 am.
