 * Senior Newsletters and other hand outs.

‍Things To Do.....
- Turn in your senior picture to the Counseling Office for the local newspapers. Preferably a head shot. Otherwise pictures are cropped and not as clear. - Fill out a transcript release form. - Turn in your college applications - APPLY EARLY! - Schedule your campus visits. - Meet with visiting college reps. - Watch the bulletin board for scholarship Postings. - Inform the Counseling Office when you hear back on your college applications.

‍Don't Go Down the Senior Slide
More and more colleges and universities are carefully monitoring grades and extracurricular involvement right up until graduation. The performance in the final semester can mean the difference between being taken off a wait list or making alternative plans. Keep up on schoolwork and extracurricular leadership roles. Admission Offices throughout Wisconsin have issued a warning to seniors regarding the importance of doing well during the entire senior year. Colleges do rescind acceptance of students who do poorly, especially during the second semester. Also, colleges expect the student to notify the admissions office regarding any 2nd semester schedule changes. Colleges do not look favorably on taking an easy 2nd semester course schedule.
