Hi Seniors, welcome to week two. There is no time like the present to start those important conversations with your families, teachers and counselor about your plans for the future and ways of achieving your goals. Although it is only the start of the school year, in a blink of an eye you will be finding yourself quickly approaching very important deadlines.

A couple of helpful tips:

Make sure you have set up your FAFSA credentials and have familiarized yourself with the website, FAFSA opens on October 1.

Start thinking about college and admission requirements so that things are submitted on time.

Senior year can be a fun time. However, in all the excitement, your grades can suffer. To avoid that from happening, it helps to have an agenda, planner, or some method to help keep track of assignments and upcoming tests and deadlines.

Set good study routines for yourself, consistency is key. Once you start getting into good study habits you will be able to maintain it throughout the school year.

START STRONG AND STAY STRONG!
