College Admissions
These terms are helpful to understand when going through the college application process.
Rolling Admissions: A college will notify the student of their acceptance on a rolling basis (typically 3-4 weeks after they have applied). It is smart to apply early to these colleges, because applications are only accepted until the quota has been met.
Early Action: Students who apply early may receive an offer of admission by mid-December. There usually is no binding commitment in early action.
Early Decision: Colleges will offer a student an offer of acceptance or denial during the first semester of their senior year. If accepted, the student must agree to enroll at that college and withdraw all other applications.
Students should read the fine print before deciding on early action or early decision.

Welcome Back!
Welcome Back!
We are looking forward to working with you again this year, and wish for you to have a happy and successful school year. Please read the information below about schedule changes and upcoming events.
If a student is seeking a schedule change, please keep in mind that a schedule change request form (you can pick up in the Guidance office) needs to be completed. Please note, the form requires both a student signature and a parent's signature. Once we receive the form, we will determine if a schedule change can be made and will follow-up with the student. Schedule changes cannot be made after the 5th day of school.
We are in the process of scheduling senior IGP (Individual Graduation Plan) meetings. Please know that seniors will soon be mailed a letter indicating the date/time of the meeting. At this meeting, we will discuss the student's graduation plan, check credits and graduation requirements, and discuss post-secondary options.
There will be an Senior meeting for parents and students on September 10th at 7 p.m. We encourage students and their parent(s) to attend this meeting.
Just a reminder, if a student's last name begins with A-J, his/her counselor is Mrs. Cardell. If his/her last name begins with K-Z, his/her counselor is Ms. McCrimmon.
Thank you!
