Here’s a glimpse at last week’s 6th Annual Holiday Cookie Smackdown! Thanks to our judges and congrats to all the winners!

Dog Block is a new period in our Bell Schedule this year, once or twice each month that gives student's choice. Students have been able to learn things and take mini classes that do not typically fit into a student's schedule. Here is a lathe pen a student made in woodshop!

The Robotics Club is providing an opportunity for students to make some pretty cool robots! Congratulations to student Ryan Norceide on his robot!

Rockland High has elected its 2023 Santa and Mrs. Claus! Read about it in The Veritas!!

For Freshmen

Guidance Counselors visited grade 9 classes this week to discuss future planning. We reviewed options for after high school, goals and goal setting. In addition, students created their SCOIR accounts. SCOIR is a website that allows students to search careers, colleges and build a resume. Students started their resume today.

All materials are posted in your student's Guidance Counselor's Google Classroom

For Seniors

As we prepare to begin the holiday break, we wanted to remind you:

• Counselors will not be available over the vacation. If you apply to colleges over the break be sure to move those schools from Applying to Applied in SCOIR. If you have schools with a January 1st deadline, be sure to submit by January 1st. Materials will be sent to schools as soon as possible upon our return on January 2nd.

• Mid-year grades (at the end of Term 2) will automatically be sent to all colleges in your SCOIR “Applied” list - make sure your list is up to date.

• Get your FSA ID. As of today, the 2024-2025 FAFSA is still not available but you can create your FSA ID so you can be ready to start completing the FAFSA as soon as it is. All students applying to post-secondary education and training (2 year & 4 year colleges, community colleges, trade/technical/vocational schools) must complete and file the FAFSA to be eligible for financial aid. If any of your colleges require the CSS Profile, be sure to file that as well.

• Check your email for invitations to set up College Applicant Portals for each school you apply to.

Seniors are encouraged to check their Google Classroom Page for scholarship information. Every dollar counts!
