MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS AND INFORMATION
 
A Deadline Reminder  
 

Dear parents of eighth and ninth grade students:

 

If you intend to have your child apply to secondary schools this year, please remember that all recommendation forms must be submitted to the proper teacher and our office by Wed., Nov. 21. By that time, please send an email titled "Schools Applying To" to me at lconsidine@footeschool.org and Erika Villa at evilla@footeschool.org that states the final list of schools your child will be applying to. 

 

Additionally, please encourage your child to carefully complete and submit to me the student questionnaire I recently made available to them. The form enables me to more fully and effectively advocate for your child throughout the admissions process. It is often very useful for you to assist  your child with the form. 

 

Thank you for your assistance. 

 

Liam Considine

Assistant Head of Middle School
