Important Information for Seniors
As graduation approaches, seniors need to be aware of a few things!
- Seniors were sent an "exit form" to complete no later than April 24
- If students haven't already, all college acceptances, senior awards and scholarships need to be sent to Mrs. Saurine. You can either print them out or take a screenshot. This needs to be done by April 21 at the latest!
- College Decision Day is May 1. Many institutions are going to require a decision and deposit by May 1, so be sure students are keeping track of those deadlines.
- If students are playing a college sport, they need to request their final amateurism certificate in their NCAA account.
