  • Attendance is at the teacher's discretion. Students may not attend if they have a test or quiz and are responsible for any missed work.
  • If you can no longer attend, cancel your RSVP promptly so colleges have an accurate headcount.
  • Come prepared, be respectful, and bring thoughtful questions-this is your chance to make a great impression.
