Senior “To-Do’s” List: There are several items that seniors need to stay on top of leading into graduation. Applying to scholarships is important to not forget (information in the HS hallways). A graduation requirement is to complete a FAFSA form for possible federal financial aid, be sure you are getting the email confirmation from FAFSA sent to Ms. McDonough. Students should be finishing up on their status for “college readiness” through the TSI test, ACT, SAT or College Bridge Program; this is very important to complete! Informing Ms. McDonough of any and all colleges that students have applied to so that a transcript can be sent to complete admissions files is a MUST!
