Important Senior Information
September 28, 2021
Greetings Parents/Guardians of Seniors and Seniors!!
This
letter is to help seniors and parents/guardians of seniors organize
dates and deadlines that are important to seniors. We high school
counselors are sending this to you because we know how busy the fall is,
and how quickly deadlines come and go. Deadlines are a crucial part of
planning for college, scholarships, the military, and the workforce.
Students who are applying to college can create an account on commonapp.org and
begin working on their Common Application for college admission. We
would suggest starting the application now, and then counselors can help
your student with the parts they are not sure of after the add/drop
period ends. Please also have students keep track of their login
information for the Common App and College Board accounts. This is
critical in order for counselors to help answer questions during senior
meetings, as counselors do not have access to passwords.
Students
who are planning to enter the military must contact a recruiter for the
branch they are interested in. Here is the most up to date list we
have for area recruiters by branch.
On Tuesday, November 30, 2021 is our Military Day, and we will have
recruiters from various branches setting up tables in the multipurpose
room from 8:00-10:30 am.
Below
you will find a list of key dates for seniors and families to be aware
of. Please mark them on your calendar as the fall will be a very busy
time of year! In addition, here is a link to the Class of 2022 Google Calendar where
we will post when college admissions counselors and military recruiters
are coming to the School Counseling Office to meet with students, and
we will also post important dates and deadlines.
