HOW MANY WEEKS UNTIL THE END OF 1ST SEMESTER!?!
Where can I get help???
Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II Tutoring is available Monday - Thursday from 2:15-3:15 in Room L703
The National Honors Society offers tutoring every Thursday from 2:15-3:15 in Room C221. There are many volunteers just waiting for students to come for help.
Each teacher will offer before and after school tutoring times. Check with your specific teacher to see when you can go to them for extra help.
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR - TIME FOR 2018-2019 REGISTRATION!!!
On December 6th students will be given their materials and the counselors will be in sophomore and junior English classes December 7th - 15th. Counselors will be in freshman classes January 16th - 22nd.
It is very important that students have the "working copy" of the course selection sheet completed and signed by a parent/guardian before we come to their classrooms.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL AID FOR COLLEGE!!
Seniors applying for scholarships and financial aid should plan to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) beginning October 1, 2017. If you choose to file the application online, both the student and a parent will need to have a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) number for their electronic signatures. You may apply for this at any time at http://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm. Having your FSA ID number in advance will simplify the application process in October. You will need tax information from 2016 to complete the form.
FAFSA Forms
NAVIANCE FAMILY CONNECTION HAS ARRIVED!!
Naviance Family Connection assists students in making decisions throughout high school. Additionally, Naviance Family Connection will allow students to send important documents to colleges, search for scholarships, and communicate with counselors.
Whether you are a freshman or a senior, Family Connection will be an important piece of your personal plan of action.
Scholarship Resources
The following link is to a very useful website. College Depot is a service of the Phoenix Public Library. They have many different services available to students and families. One of their most helpful links is to their very thorough list of scholarships, both local and national.
