Moon Valley High School Best Practices" I've learned that one-on-one conversations is the most important factor in getting a student to
complete his/her FAFSA." -Jennifer Emmanual, MVHS Counselor
Hosting Multiple FAFSA Completion Workshops Throughout the School Year:Moon Valley HS has hosted over 12 FAFSA completion workshops for their students and parents toattend. They held 8 in the month of October and continue to work with students to ensure that allseniors complete a FAFSA. They also collaborate with college reps on hosting next steps workshopsfor admitted students. Innovative Themes: They created fun themes for their FAFSA events to encourage students to attend,such as "FAFSA and Donuts". They also created fun posters to display around campus to remindstudents to complete their FAFSA and market their college-going events. Communication: Communication is key! Counselors keep parents informed by sending e-mailannouncements every two weeks informing them about upcoming FAFSA and college-going events oncampus. Counselors also reach out to students individually about completing their FAFSA and remindthem about upcoming FAFSA events on campus. College T-Shirt Day: Once a month MVHS teachers, counselors, staff and students are encouraged towear their college/university t-shirts to create a college-going atmosphere. Campus Tours: The Career Center Specialist coordinates college/university campus tours for studentsto attend. During these tours students have the opportunity to learn about the different campusesand program offerings. So far they have visited over 5 different college campuses throughout Arizona FAFSA Announcements: Social Studies/Government teachers set up a designated bulletin board intheir classrooms for all things FAFSA and college and career related announcements.
