Secondary News Sept 2011

Important information from Mrs. Huff.

Dates and events to remember for all secondary students:
• As we approach the mid-quarter please be sure to check edline for your student’s progress. (Anyone still needing an edline login can email Mr. Lockwood for an activation code at rlockwood@avcschool.com)
• Report cards will be sent home after the fall break

ALL 9TH-11TH STUDENTS
• The PSAT tests will be on the Wednesday before we leave for our fall break; October 12th from 8:00 – 10:50 am. Please be sure that your student has had a good breakfast and a good night’s sleep. They will also need to have a calculator of their own with them for the test as well as two to three #2 pencils.

SENIOR PARENTS
• If your student is planning to take the College Entrance SATs another time or two the best test dates would be in October and November. Please go to collegeboard.com to register.
• November 1-November 30th is the deadline for all UC applications for seniors interested in attending a UC in the fall. This is also the ‘Preferred’ application time for the Cal State colleges as well. Applications may be done online.
• Parents of seniors will want to plan to have their taxes done early this year if at all possible for the filing of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which will have to be completed by March 2nd, 2012. On this form, you can estimate your tax information if need be, but it is a smoother process if you have them already done. Watch for more information as the time approaches!
• Senior parents please be sure to check with your seniors about due dates. The picture frames for graduation will be available soon for you to purchase and pick up in the office. These are due back before we leave on Christmas Break (December 21). If you have not paid Mrs. Dani Patag the $62.00 (approximately) fee for your brick, picture frame, and graduation picture please do so ASAP. There is also a very urgent due date (Oct. 21st) to turn in your student’s baby pictures for your yearbook tribute page- please contact Miss Evans if you have not already done so.
