IMPORTANT NOTICE

Does your college application have a Secondary School Report that needs to be done by your counselor?  If it has a January 1 deadline or sooner, we need your paperwork in the Counseling Center and/or the email invite by Wednesday November 24 so that it can be completed before we leave on Winter Break.  

For Mrs. Reykdal’s students, the deadline is November 16.  She will be gone recovering from surgery from Nov. 23 through Winter Break.
