A Few Reminders
- Calling 911 without a real emergency can have significant legal and school consequences. Lately we have had several 911 hang ups from cell phones on campus. We work closely with our police department to respond to potential emergencies and want to make sure that everyone is safe on campus.
- "Senior Assassins" is not a school authorized activity and playing it can result in consequences such as suspension or expulsion. "Senior Assassins" is a game that students sometimes play where they target different groups and "shoot" them with water guns. These items are not permitted at school, on school grounds or school activities.
FAFSA
Each year, the U.S. Department of Education rewards over $120 billion in federal grants, loans, and work-study funds to more than 13 million students. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the only way to apply for federal, state, and college aid. It is completely free and it typically takes ONLY 30 minutes to complete. Students may submit their FAFSA starting October 1st of their senior year. Many schools offer money on a first-come-first-serve basis, so the sooner one applies, the better.
Apply online at FAFSA.gov or learn more on our website at: Financial Aid (cguhsd.org)
