Important Access to Resources for Seniors

GEAR UP Students and Parents,

We are excited to share that GEAR UP students now have access to Kaplan, which includes both KapAdvisor and Kaplan’s test preparation resources.

Through Kaplan, students can access resources to help them prepare for:

• College application essays

• SAT

• ACT

• AP Exams

Students can choose the test preparation that best matches their upcoming exam and begin using the available resources to support their preparation. To get started, visit bit.ly/gearupsc no later than October 31st.

We encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity and explore these free resources available through Kaplan for our seniors. If you have questions about accessing Kaplan, please contact gearup@greenville.k12.sc.us. 

College Visits

Juniors and seniors are allowed up to three college visits each year. Each visit must be to a different institution. In order for a college day to count as a field trip, you must bring written proof of your visit to the institution on the college’s letterhead the day you return to school. The attendance clerk will collect and file your proof in the attendance office. 

If you fail to follow this procedure exactly, your college visit will count as an absence and count against your allotted absences per semester.

Letters of Recommendation

Seniors! As you are beginning and starting college applications, one common request is for letters of recommendations from counselors/teachers. In order to help, please complete this form so your counselors can best assist you in these recommendation letters. Make sure you are linking your School Links account with Common App! FIHS will access many recommendations through SCHOOL LINKS ONLY.
