TCHS MOCK Presidential Election Results...
 
The students and staff of TCHS participated in a Mock Presidential Election on November 3.
All potential voters were required to register before casting their ballots. Approximately 68% of eligible voters did register. In a foreshadowing of the nation's Presidential election, Donald Trump was the winner of our Mock election with 47% of the vote to 41% for Hillary Clinton. The remaining votes were cast for Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, and various write-in candidates.

Mr. P would like to thank all those who helped register voters, man the polling places, and help count the ballots.It was a good learning experience.

Guidance Updates... 
 
SENIORS
 
All Seniors should check in with your counselor about colleges.  The transcript request form with college deadlines is due to counselors no later than 10 days before your first deadline.  Once you have submitted an application you must check to see that the college has received all the parts of your application including test scores, transcripts and recommendations.
 
UCONN Deadline :  Seniors please note that although the application deadline for UConn is January 15, the priority deadline for merit and honors consideration is December 1.
 
Dollars for Scholars Scholarships Applications: Stamford Dollars for Scholars awards over 25 local and national scholarships to Seniors and the application is available now at http://public.dollarsforscholars.org.  Applications must be submitted from Feb. 1 through April 1, 2017.  For more information, please see www.sd4s.org or the Guidance Department.
 
Financial Aid:   Please be aware that the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is now available as of October 1, 2016.  This is a much earlier rollout of the FAFSA than the Jan. 1 date that had been used last year.  Students seeking financial aid should fill out the FAFSA and submit it to each college by the deadline set by each college.
 
While all colleges will require the FAFSA, some colleges also require the CSS Profile that asks for more detailed information.  Please check each college to which you are applying to see whether or not they require the CSS profile.  The CSS Profile is found at www.student.collegeboard.org/css-financial-aid-profile .

Multicultural Night


On Thursday, December 1st, TCHS will hold its annual multicultural night. This is a fun event in which all TCHS families and students are invited to attend. Our success is dependent upon many of the TCHS families donating a meal (appetizer, main course or dessert) that is representative of their country. This year we are trying to have parents sign up with what they are bringing so we can ensure we have enough food. In the past we have had over 200 people in attendance. 

 SIGN UP HERE:  
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044ca9ac2da1ff2-multi

All proceeds of the evening go towards the clubs activities and charitable works. 

Thank you!
