Senior English Presentations

Ms. Robertson gave a presentation to all Senior English classes. You can view this presentation here. She also gave all students a "Getting In" book to help with college planning. If you are in an online English class or on VL and would like a book, please stop by the main office to get one.

Ordering Transcripts (Parchment)

Senior students will be given a registration sheet as well as emailed instructions on how to create an account with Parchment to order your transcript.

Don't forget to order your transcript when applying to colleges and universities! Your transcript will be sent WITHOUT your ACT/SAT scores unless requested. It is good to know the test-optional policy for the schools that you are applying to determine if it is in your best interest to send your standardized scores or not.

Final Transcripts will be sent to the college or university you are attending in the Fall. To order your Final Transcript, be sure to mark "Hold For Grades" when ordering your transcript so that it is released after final grades have posted to your high school transcript.
