Senior Support Days 
Each year, the School Counselors provide TWO days for Seniors to get support in the college application process.  Seniors are able to sign up for ONE block only.  The sign-up links are provided below.  School Counselors will support students with college applications, scholarships, college essays, and/or financial aid.  You are responsible for any missed work in your class.

EARLY RELEASE/LATE ARRIVAL
If you have Early Release or Late Arrival, you must have a sticker on either your lunch pass or Student ID.  The counselors went around the school this week to hand out stickers. If you have not gotten this sticker, please make sure you go to the main office and request one.
