October Updates
Happy Fall! .
The end of the 1st 9-week grading period ended on October, 8th. Now is a great time to schedule a parent teacher conference.
Keeping on Top of Your Work It is the responsibility of each student to complete homework assignments. With a little planning and follow through, students can avoid falling behind. Bear in mind, as our graduating seniors remind us, one of the single most important keys to academic success is regular student/teacher communication. In addition, here are a few pointers for staying on top of homework:
- Routinely check teacher’s Canvas classrooms to account for upcoming assignments.
- Continually monitor grades and assignments.
- Keep communication open with teachers and counselors.
Counselors will virtually connect with students during the month of October to discuss the high school graduation requirements, the role of the high school counselor and support services available. This is an opportune time for counselors to get to know their students, gather information, and discuss goal setting and getting involved.
Seniors, College Application Season is here!
So what about that FAFSA....
The basic facts: the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the document you must file each year to get financial aid. Colleges use this information to determine financial aid packages.
STUDENTS CAN START APPLYING NOW! It is strongly recommended that you file the FAFSA as soon as possible.
