Hawk News 12/19/2025

We had a wonderful first semester here at Hendrickson. I would like to sincerely thank our staff, students, and families for their continued support and partnership. Hendrickson is a special place, and I hope everyone takes full advantage of the many opportunities available for students to learn, grow, and succeed.

If your first semester did not go exactly as planned, use the break as a time to reflect and create a game plan for a stronger start in the new semester. I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the holidays with family and friends.

We look forward to welcoming teachers back on January 5 and students on January 6. Wishing you all a safe, restful break and a very Happy New Year!

Dear Senior Parents and Guardians,

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is officially open for the Class of 2026! Completing the FAFSA is the most important step in securing financial aid for college, trade school, or career training programs.

This application determines eligibility for:

• Federal grants (money you don’t repay)

• Work-study opportunities

• Low-interest federal student loans

• Many state and college-specific scholarships

How the FAFSA Works This Year:

1. The student begins the FAFSA with their own username and password.

2. The student will then invite one parent/guardian (called a “contributor”) to log in with their own username and password.

3. That parent completes their section, and then the FAFSA is submitted.

Important: Only one parent needs to fill out the FAFSA. Which parent is used depends on the family situation:

• Married parents (to each other): Both parents’ information is included, but only one parent logs in as the contributor.

• Divorced/separated parents: Use the parent the student lived with most in the past 12 months (or who provided more financial support).

  • If that parent is remarried, the stepparent’s info must be included too.

• Single, never married parent: Only that parent’s info is needed.

Why act quickly?

• Some financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Many colleges require the FAFSA on file before awarding scholarships.

• Even if you don’t think you qualify, it’s still worth completing.

• You’ll need your 2024 tax information to complete the form.
