10th Grade Parent Night

Wednesday, December 6th @ 7 PM

East Rockaway HS Band Room

Attention East Rockaway Families! 

Wednesday 12/6 at 7 PM we will host our 10th grade student and parent night. This is a great opportunity to learn more about high school planning, preparing for college & the NCAA eligibility process. Additionally, we will discuss the process to be considered for our special programs such as Nassau BOCES and the Nassau Community College Concurrent Program available senior year.

Financial Aid Info

The 2024-25 New York State Tuition Assistance Program Application is now open!

• The application is available at hesc.ny.gov/TAP (NYS Higher Education Services Corporation - NYS TAP).

• Students do not need to wait for the release of the FAFSA to complete their TAP application.

• Students will need to create a HESCPIN Account using their email address and create a unique password to access the TAP application.  Students who have a NYS Driver’s License, non-driver ID, or Student ID will be asked to include that information when creating their HESC Account.

• Since HESC verifies the information in the NYS TAP Application with the information submitted in your FAFSA, students who complete their TAP prior to the FAFSA release will need to complete their FAFSA by February 15, 2024, or their saved TAP application will be deleted, and they’ll need to submit a new TAP application.

• Once students complete their FAFSA, they can use the link at the end of the FAFSA to return to and submit their TAP application for processing.

College Apps - Get them done!  See your School Counselor for assistance 

• Seniors should continue working on their college applications. 

• December 15th and January 1st are major college deadlines. 

• Students should review their deadlines and seek assistance from their counselor as needed. 

• Your counselors are not here over the Holiday break. If you have a January 1st deadline make sure to apply before the break and give your counselor at least one weeks notice.  

• Progress Reports will be posted on the portal on 12/20. Please review your child's progress with them and reach out to your child's teacher and/or School Counselor with any concerns. 

This month Counselors will push-in to 10th grade classrooms to:

• Perform Individual Progress Reports

• Introduce students to career exploration in Naviance

Contact your child's counselor for more information

On Friday, December 22nd we look forward to welcoming back our alumni from the class of 2023. The alumni will speak with our students about their first semester college experience. Pictures to follow in the January newsletter.
