1. Grad Transitions Notice: There are 40 students who have NOT entered their Post Secondary Selections on the student secure web to indicate where they want their transcripts sent in July. It is easy to do and must be done. Even if you have completed your assignments, drop by during your GT class to make sure you are NOT on the list. For those students who have been waiting for a password re-set, we have those now. See you SOON.

2. Caps and Gowns — Grad ceremonies — measurements needed — Mrs. Blanco will be setting up a measuring station (it goes by height) in the GT room next week. Come by to note down the “size” needed and to pick up a payment form. Once you have filled out the required info and included your payment, you will give that to Ms. Fuhrman/drop box in office.

3. Scholarship application packages — How to classes/time saving tips — start up on Tuesday, Jan. 10 and on. The new District scholarship book is now up “on line” on the SD 42 website under the students button and on our class website as well. Note the ones you qualify for.
