Good Morning Senior Parents! I wanted to reach out this morning and let you know that we met with seniors yesterday during school and discussed many upcoming deadlines for them in regards to post-secondary education. Topics of discussion included: local scholarship packets will be coming out next week and will be due the week we return from spring break, it is important to develop a brag sheet (honors, activities, etc.) to accompany their scholarship applications, letters of recommendations will be required for some of the applications (ask in advance), students should be narrowing their decision down to their school of choice (many have a deadline of commitment of May 1st) and looking for individual scholarship opportunities provided by the school beyond the general scholarship fund, FAFSA must be completed, students must have at least 4 credits in both English and Math (most students must pass both courses this year to graduate), students need to compile a list of scholarships already received for both the scholarship application and senior awards night, once students have committed to a school please make sure they are completing their housing requests as they will fill up, and also please encourage your child to check their email and the triple e google classroom page daily as we enter March! I know this is a lot, but I wanted to keep parents updated!
