Announcement

Juniors and Seniors: 
Is the thought of applying for college intimidating you?  Get started early!  Scholarship and entrance application deadlines are sooner than ever.  It is a great idea to apply to AT LEAST four colleges. If you need help, please see your counselor! go to http://heaacolorado.org/resources.html for more scholarships.
 
Freshmen and Sophomores: 
The more involved you are in school, the better your future.  COMMUNITY SERVICE is an important part of being prepared and earning scholarship opportunities.  Be involved ALL four years for maximum benefits!
 
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid
The website is: www.fafsa.ed.gov.  Contact your counselor or Bob Cogswell in the Future Center room 211 with questions.
 
The College Opportunity Fund is a stipend provided to eligible undergraduate students.  It will pay a portion of in-state tuition in the state of Colorado.  Those who don't apply will pay this portion out of pocket.  Go to www.collegeincolorado.org and click on the College Opportunity Fund logo to apply.
 
Checking grades and attendance:
With our new system, grades and attendance are now presently available on-line.  Counselors do have access to this information, so feel free to contact us!
 
Illness:
When the student has been absent for 2 full days, you may call the counseling office at 348-5018 for a homework request.  The request takes 24 hours to gather all of the homework.
