Iimportant reminders on what you need to be working on through this Second Quarter :
If you are planning to apply to a four year college, you should be completing your SAT or ACT testing and working on your college applications. Schedule a meeting with your counselor to update her on this. Only a few of you have been working on your college applications and we know there are more of you that should be doing this. Watch your deadlines. There are some colleges with deadlines in November so be careful. We recommend to complete all of your other applications by December. Use your Senior Packet on College and Career Planning as a resource, through this process.
If you are planning to apply to a two year, community or junior college, you should be checking on the information you need to complete your application. Most two year colleges start accepting their applications during the Second Semester. If you are planning to apply to Kauai Community College or any ot the other UH Community Colleges, check with your counselor about the COMPASS placement test so that you can start planning to get this done for yourself before the Second Semester.
PTP - There are still quite a lot of you seniors who have not completed your PTP. Please check with Aunty Joan in the Counseling Office during recess or lunch to see if your name is still on this Most Wanted List. If your name is still on it, she will give you further information. Let us work on getting this list down to zero names by the end of this Semester. Would be nice to have all of our Seniors with their PTP credit by then.
For the Seniors on our Odysseyware Credit Recovery Program, you need to be working on getting those credits completed as soon as possible. Schedule your meetings with your counselor to check on your progress and to see how much more you need to do to earn your credit. You need to be signing in to the computer lab each week and completing your tests at that time. This is important, so please work on it.
Continue to work on your attendance and grades. All of your grades are important: 1) towards earning your credits for graduation, and 2) for those of you planning to attend college it will help with your application and when you start applying to scholarships too. 2/2
