Digital Citizenship Week
October 14 - 18
From Common Sense Education:

October is NC Countdown to College Month🎓🏫
NC Countdown to College (C2C) is a month-long initiative to help high school seniors learn more about taking three important college enrollment steps: residency, applying for financial aid, and college applications.
Many North Carolina colleges and universities participate in C2C by waiving application fees during College Application Week (CAW) - a great way to save on college costs! This year, CAW begins on October 21 at 7:30 a.m. and ends on October 27 at 11:59 p.m.
Reach out to your school counselor for more information.
