Seniors are asked to complete mandatory tasks in order to complete their senior check-out from the Counseling Office. The Senior Checkout and Final Transcript form, found below, verifies that these tasks are completed, provides direction for transcripts, and provides important information required by the district. The mandatory tasks include:

1. Complete the Senior Checkout and Final Transcript Form by May 1, 2026, and submit to Bridge West. This form lets counselors know where and how to send the senior's final transcript, including NCAA and NAIA. In addition, the form provides directions on how to request a final transcript for non-Common App colleges, NCAA, and NAIA.
   
   
2. Complete the Senior-Year End Activities in the Schoolinks App, which is available in Classlink. Directions are provided in the Checkout Form.
   
   
3. Complete the Onboarding Activity
   • On the Dashboard/Home Page, look for "To Do List", open the "Due Later This Year Tab", and click on "Senior Year End Activity". Complete the survey and answer all questions, then hit submit.
   • Upload proof of college acceptances and also any scholarships that have been offered (do not include HOPE/Zell). Full directions on the Senior Checkout Form.
     
     

Visit Bridge West if you need help or see a counselor in the cafeteria during both lunch periods.

Important Reminder

🎓 Seniors who do not complete the steps listed on the Senior Checkout and Final Transcript Request form will have their graduation tickets held until they are completed.

Final transcripts will be sent to institutions as requested by seniors and listed on their Senior Final Transcript Request Form/Senior Exit Survey. This process will be completed by June 2nd. If you did not provide the Counseling Office with this information or the correct college name, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting your Cambridge Counselor. The counselor’s last day is June 2nd, and we will not be able to assist you after that date.

On Half-Day Schedule Days, 5/18/26 – 5/21/26:

• ‘Grab and Go’ lunches will be served in the cafeteria from 12:30 pm to 12:40 pm.
• Buses will depart Cambridge at 12:45 pm.
• Students who do not have a class at the beginning or end of the half day are allowed to arrive late or leave campus early as normal. For example, if a student has a dual enrollment class 1st period, then the student would come in at 9:30 am for their 2nd period class.
• Students will report to the cafeteria for B2 on May 20th ONLY.

All students are required to be at school this week:

• There are no pre-approved absences in the last two weeks of school (5/11/26 – 5/21/26).

Once made up in the fall, a grade change will be submitted. Students who do not make up the exam within the first 10 days of the fall semester will forfeit the right to a change of grade.
• Students who do not attend recovery days will not be given future opportunities to recover grades.
• Reminder recovery is for major assessments only.
