Students who are applying to programs other than Sheehan
In order to release any records or complete recommendations, Moran must have "release" signed by a parent. Releases are often provided by the school students are 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 mailing envelope. 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 before the application deadline to allow ample time to complete thoroughly and time to mail.
