Senior Scoop

Graduation Invitations have arrived!

Seniors  have received 6 invitations to graduation. Each envelope contains a card that needs to be presented at the graduation in order to have a seat in the tent.

Other guests are invited to come to graduation and view the ceremony from outside the tent. 

Seniors were given their Caps and Gowns!

Please make sure they bring them home!

Lawn Signs

Many students have not picked up their lawn signs. They are at the main office. We have a hand full of extras to purchase. $20 per sign.

End of Year Schedule for Seniors

May 17th is the last day of class for seniors. From May 20 through May 31 we have organized a variety of fun “senior week” activities in order for seniors to spend time with their classmates and teachers.  Some events are all day and others are only part of the day. Students are only required to participate during the designated times. The majority of students generally participate in these events, however, those that choose not to are expected to attend school. See the letter from Dr. O'Kane HERE.

We have created a financial newsletter to help you navigate the process of applying for financial aid. This is #1 of a multi-part series.

FAFSA Information

If you are the parent of a senior (or you have an older child already in college) and you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 school year, you have probably already heard about the delay in the application availability. Usually the form opens on October 1, but it was delayed this year because the US Dept. of Education has redesigned it. Although it was expected to be ready by the end of December, there continue to be some issues with the new form. If you are struggling with the website and getting the form submitted, you are not alone. Here’s an article with some updated information.
