SENIORS AND PARENTS: COLLEGE FINANCING
Both a parent and the student need to create a PIN number. I
t's recommended you do this NOW as it can take awhile to receive your number.
Then, remember to have your tax return ready to go as soon as possible so you can have accurate financial aid information when making your college choice.

DO YOU STILL OWE FOG SERVICE HOURS?
Students often work off some of their family's FOG Service Hours (30 per family) over the summer. Nancy can be very flexible, allowing your student to work the days of the week and hours of the day that are most convenient for you. Additionally, when it is time for your student to complete their first job application, Nancy can serve as a reference. Just contact her by email at [email protected] or call the school office at 814-867-1177.

LOSING YOUR HAIR OVER TEACHING YOUR STUDENT TO DRIVE?
Dave Jameson is offering a Driver Education Program for our Grace Prep students.
If you take six lessons you will also receive a certificate stating you have completed six hours of in car training which should get you a
discount of around 10%
on your car insurance.
Dave is a
certified driver education instructor. If interested just let Dave know and he can get you more information and put you on the schedule.
You will also spend at least one lesson at the DMV practicing parallel parking and the routes they take students on for their test.
You will practice at least three times the exact test that will be given on test day.This creates no surprises and less anxiety on test day. Dave has a very high success rate of students who have passed on their first try. When the student passes the test they will get a junior license.
Please feel free to call Dave at 814-574-9193 or better yet e-mail him at
[email protected].
