A Message for IB Parents
Our IB students have just completed their first quarter of the school year. Freshman may have found new challenges in the rigor of high school classes, Juniors have entered their official IB curriculum, and our Seniors are busy applying to colleges. First Quarter grades will be out on Oct. 30. If your son or daughter isn't happy with their quarter grades, don't panic! Remember only semester grades are reflected in a student's GPA. Download this Semester Grade Breakdown chart to see how quarter grades and semester exams contribute to the final semester grade.
Attached is a must read letter for all IB parents from one of our IB Counselors, Mr. Driscoll, to help calm your fears about grades, gpa, and college admissions. We hope you will take the time to read this well written and supportive letter!

Seniors, Reminder from Mrs. Wright
Many college application deadlines are approaching on
November 1. Don't miss out on scholarship opportunities! The FAFSA submission preferred deadline for many universities is
December 1. If you need help, please visit Mrs. Wright, RHS College and Career Counselor, or visit the Cube for application assistance.
And From Mr. Driscoll
Dear Seniors,
If you need a letter of recommendation for your college application, please make sure you are contacting your recommender at least 2 weeks in advance and preferably in person.
If the college requires transcripts, they must be requested through Naviance. Instructions on how to add recommenders and request transcripts can be found on pg. 10 of your green class of 2020 handbook.
