Hello, Seneca Valley High School Community!
Seniors in search of Food!
Local Food Business Opportunity!
Every year the Seniors put on a celebratory picnic for themselves to mark the end of their high school career. This year the class officers would like to celebrate the community they are in with the food that is provided! They know that many Seneca Valley families are connected to restaurants and/or catering companies in the area. The Seniors would like to feature your food at the picnic either via your donation or a discounted price. They would advertise and hype up your food via social media.
If this is something you are interested in helping the Seniors out with – please contact Tessa Walker (tessa_walker@mcpsmd.org) and Juli Taylor (julianna_taylor@mcpsmd.org)
SENIOR COMMITMENTS!
Seniors, your Class Officers want to celebrate your achievements and commitments! Please DM them @sv24commits on Instagram with where you are committing next year. Or complete this form (https://bit.ly/sv24commits) with that information. You will be shared on the Commitments Instagram page.

Seneca Valley Caregivers of Seniors:
Your Senior is less than two months away from graduating from Seneca Valley High School. There are important items in this message;
Your student's graduation package - the payment for the ceremony, venue, cap and gown, t-shirt, stole, picnic, and sundry other items - has been attached to your student's School Cash Online (SCO) account as an obligation.
The grad package is $80 this year - lowered from last year because of good fundraising efforts! Your student must pay their grad package fee or will be in jeopardy of not participating in the graduation ceremony and not attending prom.
If you have questions about how to pay the fee, please contact the finance office as soon as possible. All seniors should have provided the cap and gown size to Josten's by now. If not, please contact one of the senior sponsors.
Thank you for your time and efforts in getting your student to walk across that stage!

Notes From the SVHS College and Career Center
2024–25 FAFSA/MHEC Info & Updates
I just learned in a meeting that students should (hopefully) be able to make corrections to their FAFSA at some point next week. This includes being able to fix errors related to missing signatures and/or consent. Try logging in at some point next week to see if you can make any corrections.
The Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) is working with higher education institutions across Maryland to have a timeline in place for the awarding process of state funds to eligible applicants.
MHEC anticipates that the first round of awards will be completed by May 1 including all eligible applicants who have completed a FAFSA by April 15.
Eligible applicants who have completed the FAFSA by May 1 are anticipated to be awarded by May 15.
Eligible applicants who complete the FAFSA by May 15 (i.e. priority deadline date) will be guaranteed to be awarded.
https://mhec.maryland.gov/Pages/MHEC-Update-on-FAFSA-Delay.aspx
https://mhec.maryland.gov/Pages/FAFSA-changes.aspx
Even though the deadline has been extended, I would still encourage students to submit their FAFSA or MSFAA (MHEC One) as soon as possible. Review the 2023-24 SV Financial Aid Guide for Seniors for more information and instructions.
