Important: Do not request Teacher or Counselor letters via Common App. They will be sent via Scoir. You must follow the WHS process for requesting letters of recommendation, using Scoir and requesting transcripts.
Seniors will be sent screen shot instructions for the Common App Recommenders section, Requesting letters via Scoir, Short and Sweet Steps to a Complete College Application and links to the Student Appraisal Form for Non WHS and Parent Questionnaire. This will all be presented in English class in the first weeks of school.
Winnacore: On the Common App, go to the Education tab, Honors and then this line:
WinnaCore: Community Service Honor Society for those who earn 50 hours or more of community service
The community service that earned the 50+ hours should be described in your activities.
