SCHOLARHIPS

New ones are coming all the time! Most require senior status for eligibility, but watch the EWTV news closely for details - and see Mrs. Curran in guidance for the application(s).

Credit Recovery

Make sure that if you are requesting classes on Florida Virtual School (http://www.flvs.net/) that you are informing your parent/guardian: they must apply for their own account so that they can give you approval to take your course(s) as well!! See your counselor for Steps to Take!

2009-2010 REGISTRATION

For the past two weeks, scheduled teachers brought their classes to Houston Hall to register students for next year's classes with their counselor (by alphabet order of last name). Then, on Thursday and Friday of last week (4/30 & 5/1) English classes brought their classes to do the same, in case someone fell through the cracks. ***IF YOU HAVE STILL NOT REGISTERED FOR NEXT YEAR'S CLASSES WITH YOUR COUNSELOR AND YOU ARE IN THE 9th OR 10th GRADES, SEE YOUR COUNSELOR DURING YOUR LUNCH THIS WEEK. (Juniors will be called down individually by their counselors to register for next year and undergo a preliminary graduation check so wait to be called down!)
