These last days of Advent and the approaching Christmas season are often called the season of LIGHT---because Jesus continues to bring LIGHT into our lives, our families, our Church and our world. In that spirit, Carondelet's theme "Called to be light: sent forth to shine" takes on even deeper meaning. While we remember Jesus' coming when we celebrate his Nativity, this is our season to bring that gift of LIGHT to all those around us! May each of us be a LIGHT-bearer this season!
"You always know you have been
in the presence of a Christian
by the trail of light they leave behind."
--John Rushkin
Christmas Blessings of LIGHT from all of us, faculty and staff at Carondelet High School.

Class of 2013: Mid-Year Transcripts
Many private colleges require students to submit mid-year transcripts (grades from first semester senior year).
For students who requested initial transcripts to be sent with their applications, mid-year grades will automatically be sent to colleges by Mrs. Missaggia when they are available in late January. There is no need to request mid-year transcripts unless: seniors have a form that needs to be mailed with the transcript or if new information needs to be sent to the colleges with the mid-year report. New information would include a change in schedule, a significant award or honor, a D or F grade in the first semester, or extenuating circumstances that affected the student's academic performance in the first semester.
Seniors will need to meet with their College Counselor to present the new information in early January.
Please note: Mid-year transcripts or reports are not sent to University of California or California State University campuses. If your daughter has information she needs to report to UC or CSU campuses, please encourage her to consult with her CHS College Counselor.

Class of 2014: PSAT Results and the Road to College
Parents and Guardians, please mark your calendars to attend one of the two PSAT/ Road to College sessions that will be offered in January.
At these sessions the College Counselors will return and interpret the PSAT results and present information on the National Merit Scholarship Program. The Road to College sessions will also break down the steps needed to prepare for the college application process including a timeline, preparing for ACT/SAT testing, conducting research, and outline the resources provided by Carondelet.
You may choose to attend one of two dates: The first session will be held on Thursday, January 17 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The second session will be held on Saturday, January 19 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Both sessions offer the same material and will be held in the Garaventa Center.
It is very important that all juniors and parents or guardians attend. There are many misconceptions associated with the college application process. This is your opportunity to hear the facts firsthand and to have your questions answered.
