Students who are applying to programs other than Sheehan: In order to release any records or complete recommendations, Moran Guidance must have a release signed by a parent. Releases are often provided by the school the student is applying to, but Moran also has them available upon request. Students should approach teachers directly with any paperwork that they would like filled out and with an addressed and stamped envelope for mailing. Completed recommendations are sent directly to the school and not given to students. Paperwork that needs to be completed should be given to staff at least two weeks prior to the application deadline to allow ample time to complete thoroughly and in time to mail.
