Visions Scholarships - March 1 Deadline Approaching!

January 22, 2014 Graduating seniors are encouraged to apply for Visions' two internal scholarships. Dear Visions Seniors, The Akademos Achieving Beyond Scholarship is open to all seniors graduating in the 2013-2014 school year. The Steve Phelps' American Dream Scholarship is open to graduating seniors who plan to attend community college. Students must be concurrently enrolled or have completed at least one class in community college, and have been gainfully employed at least part time during their enrollment at Visions In Education. Students interested in applying for either scholarship (and learning about other scholarships) can download an application from Visions' e-Handbook at Available Scholarships.  Applications should be submitted no later than March 1, 2014 to: Visions Counseling Department  4800 Manzanita Avenue Carmichael, CA  95608

Physical Fitness Test for 9th Graders

All 9th graders will be taking the physical fitness test this year.

How do we do this in Visions? Well, we can handle it in one of three ways:

• You can have your parent or guardian administer the test for you and provide me with the results
• You can join some home school families and teachers who are administering the test (I will provide more info on that option soon.)
• You can have me administer the test during one of our face to face meeting times.

What I would like all ninth graders and their families to do:

1. Read over the test information. 
2. Decide which option for testing (above) they would like to choose. 
3. Let me know their choice asap, by email.

More information about the test:

Information regarding administration of the test is located here.
• This document shows information on how to administer tests. Please pay specific attention to guidelines relating to push-ups and curl-ups. They should be paced for about 3 seconds repetition.
