th
A working laptop, computer or chrome book.

Commonapp.com and apply to colleges from
there.

My email is

if you
ever need me. Please give me 24 hrs to respond. I
don’t respond after 5pm.
Please talk to your child about next year and their
future plans i.e. taking a year off, college, dorming,
not dorming, working part-time/full time, etc.
I can not have students making up all missed work
at the end of the year. It isn’t fair to everyone who
put in the effort to pass. Please reinforce the
importance of deadlines.
There should be less hand holding and
responsibility on your part this year. They are
seniors. Please look out for progress reports in
each quarter. I will call you if necessary.
