A Message for Seniors from Mr. Driscoll
 
Seniors! I really miss all of you. I've been tracking your progress from behind the scenes and am proud of all of the hard work you have been putting in despite the lack of face-to-face contact. It's been difficult for me to work without the normal interactions at school so I'm sure it has been hard on you as well.
 
I have received a lot of questions about how to request final transcripts. In the past you would have filled out a physical form in May. With nearly everything school related being virtual, please go to the IB senior Edsby page and find the link to the new form. Please take your time filling out this form and be very accurate, as we will also be using the information you provide to send your IB "exam" results as soon as they are released.
 
Please note that, at this moment, final transcripts will still be sent out during our normal timeline of approximately the third week in June.

Best regards,
Daniel Driscoll

Class of 2021: College Application To-Do's

It's time for our Rising Seniors, the Class of 2021, to begin preparation for their college applications. Mr. Driscoll has prepared a very thorough and helpful guide for the IB Class of 2021, including important tasks and to-do's, which has been posted to the Juniors TOK Edsby page. It is strongly recommended that students print this guide out as soon as possible and begin planning their activities. A copy of this guide is included here: College Application Timeline-IB Class of 2021.

All current IB Juniors (Class of 2021) must complete an  IB Brag Sheet and return to Mr. Driscoll no later than June 15. This can be found and downloaded from  their personal Naviance Student account. The IB Brag Sheet will help inform recommendation letters that will need to be completed by Mr. Driscoll and any of your student's instructors. 

IMPORTANT PARENT TO-DO: Parents, you are asked to send a letter to Mr. Driscoll at daniel.driscoll@sdhc.k12.fl.us  describing your student's strengths, interests, and what makes him/her special, no later than June 15 .  You will find this question at the end of the IB Brag Sheet. 

Class of 2021! 
Be sure to pick up your Senior Handbook when you
drop off your textbooks. 


Unfortunately, Covid-19 social distancing restrictions required that the scheduled Junior College Night be cancelled. All RHS Juniors usually receive a helpful handbook produced by the Cube under the direction of our College and Career Counselor, Mrs. Wright, and IB School Counselor, Mr. Driscoll.


Final Student Materials Drop Off & Pick Up
 
Please be sure to drop off all school textbooks, laptops, and other items students  may have in their possession. Students will also have the opportunity to pick up their locker contents and yearbooks if they have not done so already.  Juniors will also be provided with their Senior Beyond Robinson planning handbooks, compliments of the RHS Cube.
