3. If you need a letter of recommendation from myself or another teacher, please make sure that you allow two weeks to have this letter written. I will ask you to fill out a form. It is also appropriate to follow up with a thank you note.
4. Seniors are allowed one college visit day this year. You must submit this request in Mr. Broughton’s office prior to going.
5. If you are interested in playing sports in college at an NCAA Institution, you will have to file the NCAA Clearinghouse Form. The cost for this is $30, so I would make sure that you are interested in playing before spending the money. If a coach or college recruiter is requesting you to do this, please follow through and see me.
6. If you ever stop by the Guidance Office and I am not here, please leave a note or let Ms. Tong or Ms. Stewart know that I need to see you.
