Paying for College 101

Ryle High School will host a workshop entitled Paying for College 101 on Wednesday, November 3rd at 7 p.m.

This workshop is designed to help high school students and their parents understand the nuts and bolts of the financial aid application process.  Participants will walk through a detailed case study of how a financial aid package is put together and will learn the methods used to award aid.

Here are a few of the topics to be discussed:

• Choosing the college that best fits the individual student
• Learning the formula that determines financial need
• Breaking down a school's cost of attendance
• Understanding the Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
• Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form
• Review student loan choices
• Building a financial aid package, award by award
• Comparing costs and financial aid awards  at a community college, a 4-year public university and a 4-year private school

The presenter of Paying for College 101 is Bob McDermott, the Northern Ky Outreach Counselor for the Ky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).

Power Outage

This morning at about 6:30 am, a transformer blew which cut electricity to the school building. The Boone County Schools maintenance staff and Duke Energy staff were on site shortly to determine the extent of the problem. Fortunately, there were no injuries and our students and staff were not at risk at any time.

At about 8:30 am we found out that the repairs would take most of the day. The decision was then made to dismiss students at 10:00 am as that would allow the buses to return after their elementary run and give the school a chance to contact parents to be sure their child could leave early.

All things considered, the dismissal went very well. Thanks to all students, parents, and school staff for helping out in a challenging situation.

The repairs are expected to be finished this evening and we do expect to have school on Friday.

All afterschool activities are canceled. However, the power outage did not affect Borland Stadium so tonight's senior night activities and football game will go on as expected.

Good Luck Marching Raiders!

The Raider Marching Band will be performing at Bryan Station High School this evening in the quarterfinals of the KMEA state marching band contest.

The Marching Raiders have performed extremely well throughout their season, earning several distinguished ratings.  Another strong performance and they will advance to the KMEA state finals next weekend in Louisville.
