Congratulations Seniors…
We have completed the 2nd quarter/first semester, and you now have a better sense of where you stand as we head into the final half of your high school career. This week was quite busy for the Class of 2016. You were inundated with important information at the Senior Class meeting on Tuesday (presentation link). Senior Experience information was shared, and you will be hearing more soon. Also, we took a fabulous picture of the sensational seniors.

Mid-year Reports and Updating Your List
We will be sending out mid-year reports to colleges next week now that second quarter grades are being finalized. Please note that we need to know exactly which schools actually need to receive you mid-year report, so please see your counselor right away if there have been any changes to the list of colleges that you actually applied to. Also, if you have accepted an Early Action/Early Decision offer from a college, please let your counselor know so they can remove all other colleges from your list. Lastly, please share your good news with your counselor via an email or copy of your acceptance letter to any colleges/programs/scholarships that you receive so that we can celebrate with you and keep accurate records on the outcome of your applications.
