Senior year, students are permitted to go on college visits. Students

must pick up a form from the attendance office.

College Visits (must submit proof of the visit within 3 school days upon returning)

• College visits shall not be scheduled after May 1.
• Military Visitations (must submit proof of the visit within 3 school days upon returning)

Military Branch Visits will happen sporadically during the year from all

branches of the military during lunch or by appointment. Reach out to your military representative today if you're interested in more information and speaking with them during the school day.

The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is a form that

students fill out to apply for federal financial aid. In order for colleges to

award eligible students with grants and federal student loans, the

government assesses the information included on the FAFSA. Students can

start completing the FAFSA in October 2025. If you or your student needs assistance completing the FAFSA, please reach out to Mrs. Bush or your college's financial department for help.

In the Fall and Winter, Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Nowicki will go over each individual student's graduation requirements and to double check the credits they have already received and ensure they are on track to earn those last few credits for graduation this spring! If you have further questions, please reach out ASAP.

STUDENTS: Remember to check your class year Google Classroom and email daily for additional information and links to events, scholarships, and forms related to your class year.
