Asking for Letters or Recommendations:

• From the Teacher: In person or via email, you will need to ask 2 teachers for a letter of recommendation and then make the request in Naviance. This year you need to select teachers for each college specifically; it is easiest if you think of 2 and have them submit to all of the colleges you're applying to. Think of teachers that have a solid understanding of you as a person and as a student. Your Guidance Counselor will also write a letter of recommendation for you. You should give your teachers and counselor a minimum of 3 weeks notice prior to any college application deadline. After you communicate with your teachers proceed to Naviance to submit a request.
