Subject: College Bound Update: Road Map Region
We are pleased to provide the latest update on our Road Map College Bound students for the Road Map Region (please see attached). Students will be in school for less than a week we thank you for every effort you are making to sign-up the remaining eligible 8th graders. We know that getting these last applications can be extremely difficult. We sincerely appreciate all of your hard work and efforts.
In the Road Map Region 1,001 eligible 8th grade students (21%) have yet to complete a College Bound Scholarship application. From this number, we can assume some lag time for the pledges most recently submitted as the HEC Board is in the process of compiling piles of applications from around the state. Thanks continuing to persist with last push efforts—it truly makes a difference.
· Auburn School District reports that Rainier Middle School has gathered 130 completed applications! All schools are sending in completed pledges and persisting with strategies such as calling home and home visits.
· Federal Way School District Principals have committed to pumping up recruitment efforts in the last week of school by partnering with counselors, GEAR UP staff, and other community partners.
· Highline School District is tracking their completed applications internally and reports both Cascade and Sylvester at 100%, Pacific at 97% (6 to go) and Chinook at close to 95%.
· Kent School District Mill Creek MS has conducted on-line sign-ups on three separate days. A school team is actively working on collecting the signature page and mailing them into the HEC Board. Other schools in the Kent SD are actively conducting small group pull outs and home-visits to collect the remaining applications. The counselors in the Kent SD are also tracking families that opt out and their reasons for doing so–lastly, the District has also been doing auto calls.
· Renton School District has McKnight and Dimmitt doing multiple small group sessions with the remaining students and Nelsen just finished a phone call blitz to the remaining eligible families.
· S.Seattle Schools are opening their doors on the weekend to sign-up families. The Mayor of Seattle will be making personal phone calls to eligible families. Several Seattle College Access Network partners including a cadre of volunteers from the UW Dream Project have been meeting with students/calling families (and in some cases translating/interpreting). The final BIG push will occur and 8th grade graduation ceremonies.
· Tukwila just mailed in 30 completed applications to add to the 145 previously submitted!
