College/Career

College Day Visit

An absence incurred due to visit to a college campus is permitted. Juniors are allowed one day and Seniors two days. College days will not count against Juniors or Seniors for exemption purposes. All college visits must be approved by a principal at least 2 weeks in advance. A college visit form needs to be turned in to the PEIMS office upon the student's return to school.

The Fall is a great time to take trips and see colleges in person!  Check out these opportunities provided by colleges to visit their campuses for their Preview Days!  Colleges are able to showcase their campuses on these days to provide all of the helpful information about admissions, financial aid, majors and programs, residence halls and other special things about their campuses.  Don't miss the chance to participate in one of these days!  Most do require registration in advance to attend, so click on the links below for more information and details to register!
