FAFSA Senior Parents
Just a reminder that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is available on October 1st. It is definitely worth filling out if your senior intends to attend college next year. Community college students can also qualify for aid! The earlier the FAFSA is submitted, the more monies available! At least, that is what I have been told.
This is the link!
PSAT 10th and 11th Grade Students
Students who signed up for the PSAT should be receiving an email soon from their home school. The date of the exam is October 19th and it takes place at each of the school sites. If you don't hear from your home school by next week, call your home school counselor or the guidance department for more information.
Math Tutor
Our math tutor should be able to start next week. He will be in our classroom on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:15- 12:15. If you are behind in Apex, you must come! If you aren't behind, but, know you need help, please come.
