URGENT REMINDERS

QUARTER GRADES
Quarter grades are not automatically sent to colleges. If you need/want your quarter grades sent to your colleges – you must let the college office know in one of two ways:

1. If you applied early action/early decision and already submitted your transcript request form – you MUST come to the college office and request that we fax your quarter grades to your school. Please come only during the times that are scheduled for dropping off application procedures.

2. If your quarter grades are strong and you want your schools to see them, and have NOT yet submitted transcript request forms, please write “send quarter grades” in the ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS section at the bottom of each transcript request form.

NOTE: YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE COLLEGE OFFICE IS AWARE OF ANY CHANGES BEING MADE TO QUARTER GRADES.

SENIOR COLLEGE MEETINGS
If you have not had a senior meeting and would like to – and you did not get a appointment slip in advisory today – Please come to the college office to fill out a schedule request form or reschedule a missed meeting.

DECEMBER FIRST DEADLINE (Beacon Deadline - not college deadline)
If students have ANY APPLICATION DEADLINES ON OR BEFORE JANUARY 15th. Transcript request forms must be submitted to the College Office no later than DECEMBER 1st! This does not mean you have to wait until Dec. 1st to bring in those requests. The College Office cannot guarantee that we can mail out transcripts in a timely fashion of the Dec. 1 deadline is not met. Please make sure that you have closely followed the Beacon Application Procedures. Extra copies can be picked up in the College Office
