CSU and UC Application Deadline: DECEMBER 2, 2024.
While we return to school on this day, it would be in students’ best interest to submit their applications over break and not wait until the December 2nd deadline. CSU and UC reps warn that expect a surge in application submissions on this day and this may cause computer glitches. Students do not need the added stress of a computer glitch on December 2nd when submitting applications.
FAFSA
FAFSA has officially opened, earlier than its expected opening on December 2, 2024. Hopefully you will have attended the Financial Aid presentation and will be well equipped to fill out the FAFSA over break. Please make sure the student and parent(s)/guardian(s) (aka Contributors) have their IDs created. Here are a couple of videos to watch that can help you walk through the process:
Why do my contributors and I need our own student.aid gov accounts for the FAFSA form?
CSS
CSS For those using the CSS Profile (College Board), here is a link to the institutions utilizing the CSS profile.
It is important to fill out FAFSA and, for private colleges, CSS Profile, as merit money may be tied to these.
And here is a quick article from Grown and Flown on how a typical family might pay for college.
And another article on best places to look for scholarships and apply (also from Grown & Flown)

Regular attendance and classroom participation are essential to the educational process at MHS. Missing class presentations, discussions, lectures, demonstrations and laboratories can be detrimental to student achievement, grades, credit accumulation and the progress of the class itself.
Reporting and Excusing an Absence
When a student is absent, it is required that the parent/guardian either phone the Attendance Office recorder (510-594-2889) or send a note explaining the reason for the absence. If an absence is cleared by phone, it is not necessary to follow up with a note. Only the signatures of the parent(s)/guardian(s) on the student emergency card are permitted on notes. Please provide the following information: first and last name of the student, name of parent, date of absence, the specific classes missed, and the reason for the absence. Parents/Guardians must excuse their student’s absence within three days of the time they return. If an absence is not cleared within that time, the absence will be marked as unexcused. Students are not permitted to excuse themselves on the recorder or by note. Students who miss three or more days of school in succession must present a doctor’s note, if the absences are due to illness.
Please be aware of many important dates are coming for seniors. Bookmark the Road to Graduation document as it will be updated throughout the year.
