IROC! (I’m Ready for the Opportunity of College) Summer Camp is a two week summer camp that helps 8^thgrade middle school students investigate their potential for college attendance and career exploration.  Students are exposed to various collegiate campuses, business environments, and community service projects while using the national Kids2College curriculum.

The Fort Worth ISD, in collaboration with college partners, sponsors the Middle School College and Career Expo.

This event is designed to provide information to both eighth grade students and their parents for exploring colleges and the types of careers that are available.

The Middle School College & Career Expo creates an avenue for important dialog to occur and be the catalyst for both students and parents to start thinking more seriously about college and careers.  

The Student Engagement and Counseling Services Department will be offering three FREE virtual Financial Aid Sessions via Zoom during the Spring semester. Assistance will be available in both English and Spanish to aid families in navigating the FAFSA or TASFA application process.

Whether in-person, or in cyberspace, Fort Worth ISD teachers, staff and students are encouraged to dress in college colors as a way to promote the attainable goal of a college education.

The District is asking schools and families to get creative. While some may dress in gear from his or her favorite institution, others may decorate learning at home spaces or classrooms doors. Still, others may incorporate the vision or mission statement of a particular school in a lesson plan. Your limitation is your imagination!
