Checking Application Status:
You should have the following turned in by midnight on Tuesday, October 17th, 2023:
1. 3 references (2 academic + 1 activity/athletic) - look for your name 3 times and confirm you have 2 academic and 1 activity that has been submitted. If you don't, reach out to the teacher again OR ask another teacher to fill out the form. It is on you if they do not fill it out. Do not wait until the last minute. Some teachers wait and do them all at once so you need to make sure they complete it. You should be using current teachers.
2. 20 community service hours - look to find your name and count to make sure you have 20 community service hours. If you have hours that should not be on here, please let Ms. Boyd know and we will delete that row. These hours have not been verified, they are just what you have logged so you can see if they count up to 20. If you will be short - contact Ms. Boyd for an extension. You must discuss this with us BEFORE the application deadline.
3. 1 application - see if your name is listed and we have received your application
Please email us if you have questions earlier rather than later. We are here to help you!
