College and Career Planning Info
Attention Seniors!
Do you have questions about college applications? Are you struggling with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)? Do you need help with financial aid? Are you interested in starting your college journey at Austin Community College? There will be an ACC Admission Counselor on our campus next Tuesday, November 13, during Advisory and BOTH lunches. See Mrs. Slaughter to schedule an appointment with him or just come to the MAC during Advisory or lunch on Tuesday. Even if you are NOT attending ACC in the fall, he is willing to help answer your college admission questions!
***This is a great opportunity to get help with your future plans!***

Attendance Matters.
Our schoolwide attendance goal for this year is 97%. Our state funding is based on the percentage of students at school at 10:15 am every day. Higher attendance rate = more money for resources for your student.
For students who exceed our 96% goal, we are planning some more exciting rewards this year, such as a movie in the PAC, Kona Ice, and exam exemptions!
For students who miss school, here is some very important attendance information:
3 or more unexcused absences in a 4 week period - warning letter sent home and phone call from the principal.
10 or more unexcused absences in a 6 month period - truancy charges are filed. Parent, student and school administrator will be summoned to appear in truancy court.
Our campus goal is to reach 97% attendance each day.
Thanks for your support!
