Graduation Surveys & Final Transcripts
Seniors, in order for us to send your final transcript to the college you are attending you must indicate that in Naviance under, "Colleges I'm Applying To," go down past your college list and select your school as your "attending school."
You may already be getting emails from colleges saying you must send your final transcript. It is important to understand high schools in New York end later than high schools in many other parts of the country. The school counseling department plans to have all final transcripts sent out by July 10th or sooner. Please get in touch with Mr. Madden with any questions.
Please remember to complete your graduation survey in Naviance posted to surveys in your account.
