Grade level reminders

Seniors: There are lots of deadlines you need to be paying attention to right now.  Have you turned in your senior picture to Mr. Cecutti?  Those are due this week.  Also, if you haven't ordered your cap and gown yet, you need to do that as well.  And last, but not least, don't forget to watch your financial aid deadlines. The priority deadlines are rapidly approaching - and some have even passed.  Be sure to complete and submit your FAFSA as soon as possible! And, although I assume this goes without saying, if you still haven't applied to college, you need to do this now.

Juniors: As you know, you will be taking the ACT (for free) on February 25th.  You should be preparing for the test now - and as a reminder, if you have signed up for Dr. Sampath's free prep crash course, that is during the day tomorrow.  Additionally, we will soon be doing your registration for next year and as a component of that, I will be meeting with you and your parents.  Please be sure to remind your parents to look for an email from me about these meetings.

Sophomores: You have been through a year and a half of high school.  Before long you will be taking your End of Course (EOC) exams for this year.  It is important to realize that you will, most likely, be taking 4 of the EOC exams this year which is double what you had to do last year.  I know that they take a lot of time and can create stress, but remember, what you are doing in class today and every day is preparing you for these tests.  Please be sure to maximize your learning in class each day.  I promise, you will be glad that you focused so that you will be able to earn the points you need on the tests this year without having to worry about repeating these tests again in future years.

Freshmen: By now you understand the way high school works and what to expect on a day to day basis.  It is time to start figuring out how you can make a positive impact on the school and community.  How can you get involved?  What clubs, activities, or sports are you interested in joining?  Take actions today to explore areas that will help you in the future.
