Bond Projects Update

On November 3, 2015, voters in Yuma County approved a sale of $79.5 million of bonds to repair, renovate, and maintain schools; improve school grounds; and build school buildings.  Since its passage a little over a year ago, many projects are already underway throughout YUHSD schools.  At the same time, the designing, planning, and estimating of future bond projects continues.  Thank you to the voters of Yuma County for the support of YUHSD schools.

#YUMAREADY YUHSD ART PROGRAMS

YUHSD high schools have vibrant Art programs that allow students to display their talents in various ways through the 2D, 3D, and drawing classes that are offered.   The Ready Now Yuma initiative encourages students to find that passion that drives them towards the college or career that interest them.

Utilizing the Common App 
From: www.fairopportunityproject.com

The Common App is a universal application meant to remove a lot of the redundancy of the filling out applications for many schools: essentially, it centralizes information so you don't have to re-enter it every time. The nice thing about the Common App is that most colleges accept it. It asks, among other things, for personal information, extracurricular activities, honors and awards, test scores, courses, and essays. This gives the admissions committee an idea of how you spent your time during high school, as well as your personal and family background. Fill out the Common App as instructed in the Common App website.

Although the Common App has been the most common universal application to apply to college, there are many other application platforms, such as the Universal College Application and the Coalition for Access, Affordability, and Success. Some colleges have school-specific applications, meaning that you need to fill out an entire application just to apply to that school. Do your research and find out how to apply to each college. Just about every application will include, at the very least, family information, extracurricular activities, honors and awards, tests scores, courses, and an essay. While the Coalition and UCA are accepted by fifty-six and forty-four colleges and universities respectively, the Common App is used by over 500. Because it is the most common, that is what we will focus on in our guide.

Utilizanedo el "Common App" (Aplicación Común) :
www.fairopportunityproject.com

El Common App (Aplicación Común) es una aplicación universal cuyo propósito es eliminar gran parte de la redundancia de tener que completar varias solicitudes de admisión en varias escuelas: esencialmente, centraliza la información para que el estudiante no necesite volver a completar la misma información cada vez. Otra ventaja del Common App es que la mayoría de los colegios la aceptan. La aplicación colecta información personal, actividades extracurriculares, honores, premios, calificaciones de exámenes, cursos y articulos de composición, entre otras cosas. Esta información le da al comité de admisiones una idea de cómo los estudiantes utilizaron su tiempo durante los últimos cuatro años escolares, al igual que sus antecedentes  personal y familiar. Las instrucciones para completar la aplicación del  Common App se encuentra en la página web de la aplicación
