The U.S. Department of Education has launched www.college.gov, a new website
that aims to motivate students with inspirational stories and information
about planning, preparing and paying for college. Designed with students'
input and participation, College.gov was created by the U.S. Department of
Education to be a go-to online resource for credible information about
college that also provides real life experiences of peers who are already
attending college.

Mentoring Opportunity-  Several of our students will benefit from the
relationship and benefits of having a mentor.  Round Rock ISD participates
in the STAR mentor program.  This is an opportunity for you to make a huge
impact in the life of a child to help their social/emotional and even
academic success.
