Spring Break Edition
Thursday, September 29
Keep Working! You have 42 days of school left in your high school career.
AP test takers:
The AP Fee Reducation Request is due tomorrow, Friday, March 29th. Abolutely no exceptions! Be sure you bring it in to the box by Mrs. Hall's door or to Mrs. Chavira. If it's not turned in, you'll pay $89 per test. (This is the middle page of the packet. More packets are next to Mrs. Hall's door.)
FAFSA Slackers:
You can still complete the FAFSA form and get $$$ for college. For community colleges, there is a September 2 "second deadline". For four year colleges, you might still qualify for the Pell grant (federal money). During the break, log on to fafsa.gov with your parent's tax information and get going.
FAFSA completers:
Congrats to the 191 Cal Grant awardees who earned big $$$ for college! Don't forget to update your FAFSA with this year's taxes and any college changes. Super important: be sure to go to the "webgrants4students" site to set up your account. This will tell you whether or not you qualified for a Cal Grant, etc. Do this ASAP!
Four Year College Applicants:
Be sure you are reading everything you are sent, online and on paper! CSU Applicants: Be sure to sign up for the EPT/ELM if you need it. The CSU's all have different deadlines for this, so it's up to you to be sure you take it. You can be admitted, then denied for not taking these tests. Google EPT/ELM to sign up. Do it now!
Community College Applicants!
You can apply NOW at CCCApply for all public community colleges in California! If you applied to CSU Mentor, you can use that username and password. The sooner you apply, the more likely you will get classes. If you delay, you'll lose out!
If you are aplying to Mt. SAC, download, print and turn in the Summer Bridge application. The deadline to apply for the Summer Bridge is April 19th.
