Mandatory Senior Exit Survey
Attention Seniors!
We need you to complete the Senior graduation Exit Survey. This survey can be located in your Naviance Account. Go to About Me, My Stuff, Surveys, and Surveys not Completed. This is very important as it allows us to send your final transcripts to your colleges, military, or employers. This information will also be used to provide information for graduation ceremonies. This is a required survey! Please complete this survey no later than May 5th.
