SENIORS need to get started on your applications for college. Mrs. Mary Heath, LHN college adviser, is looking forward to meeting with seniors during their lunch hour to direct and answer questions about this process. Look for an email that is being sent to all seniors and their parents to begin this adventure! Please contact Mrs. Heath if you don't receive that email. The goal for senior students should be to have their applications complete and submitted by October 31st or Thanksgiving at the latest. CHECK each college website for their DEADLINES. Don't delay. Some competitive colleges are as early as December 1st. It's better to be early than "just" under the deadline.
Senior Parent College Information Night is THIS MONTH on Wednesday, September 15th at 6:30pm in the courtyard. Please mark it in your planner and save the date!!
