April 2022
SECA Parents, Students and Staff
It's been a great week of EOC testing for English I and II. Our next round of EOC testing will occur the week of May 9th and I know our students will keep up the hard work during class and interventions to be ready for the challenge.
As we move through the season of testing with EOC and AP testing on the horizon, we also prepare for celebrations including our Senior Signing day on May 6 and Senior Awards on May 18.
We also have our International Festival, Field Day and grade level awards coming up in May. More information will be shared as we get closer to each event.
Parents, please help us as this weather changes to a warmer day. Students need to be in dress code each day and grade level polos are required for 9th and 10th grade students each day with grade level t-shirts each Friday.
Thank you for all you do to support SECA Students and Staff. It is truly appreciated!
Sincerely,
KGuidry

New TASFA/FAFSA Graduation Requirement
Parents/Guardians of 12th-Grade Students:
The purpose of this letter is to remind you of a new graduation requirement that will go into effect beginning with the Class of 2022.
As a result of House Bill 3, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) adopted the graduation requirement for all students to complete and submit either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA).
TEA has allowed for three exceptions to this graduation requirement:
The student’s parent or other person standing in parental relation submits a signed form indicating that they authorize the student to decline to complete and submit the financial aid application;
The student signs and submits the FAFSA opt-out form on the student’s own behalf, if the student is 18 years of age or older or the student’s disabilities of minority (student emancipation) have been removed for general purposes under Chapter 31, Family Code, or;
A school counselor authorizes the student to decline to complete and submit the financial aid application for good cause, as determined by the school counselor.
Annually, the financial aid cycle opens Oct. 1 of a student’s senior year, and the state priority deadline to submit the FAFSA or TASFA is Jan. 15 of a student’s senior year. Spring ISD will provide hands-on application workshops throughout the school year to assist students and families with the FAFSA and TASFA applications.
To fulfill this graduation requirement, the student must log into Naviance and upload either the mandatory TEA waiver or a Student Aid Report (SAR) to show an application was submitted.
For additional information, please contact your campus college counselor.
