Dear Senior High School Students and Families,

Remember, there are no make-ups for Regents Exams until their next administration in June!
Back to Contents
We have already begun the scheduling process for the 2020-2021 school year. I cannot emphasize enough how very important it is to adhere to the deadlines we have set up for this process. We base our staffing and master scheduling on the information we get during this process.
Remember, we invite parents to participate in the scheduling meetings that occur with students and their school counselors. Please contact the counseling office at 359-5220 to schedule an appointment. We would like to have all appointments scheduled by Friday, January 31, 2020; all appointments should be done by February 14. Thank you in advance for your help.
Parents of seniors please take note:
The new year brings many challenges and exciting times for members of the Class of 2020. Our goal is to see everyone walk across the stage at the Gordon Field House at RIT on Friday, June 26. To that end, seniors need to stay focused and attentive to the requirements for courses endingthis month, and through their final semester. Elementary and secondary school is a thirteen-year journey that our students have travelled, and finishing strong should be the goal for all of our seniors. While academic success is important, the habits that are formed: strong work habits, regular attendance at school, being on time, meeting deadlines, and exceeding the expectations set forth by instructors will serve all students throughout their lives. Instilling these habits will prepare students to leave our school community ready to take on new challenges and experiences away from Rush-Henrietta.
College & Career Readiness (CCR) is a district priority and a goal we have to prepare all students for life after high school. Our goal continues to be to prepare students for any option they want to pursue following graduation. Some choose two or four year college experiences, others choose vocational experiences, some join the military, and others go directly into the workforce. In any case, we want
them ready for whatever they may choose. We view our students’ parents and guardians as partners with us in the process. Parents and guardians play a vital role in supporting our work by “checking in” (via SchoolTool); contacting teachers with concerns or questions; and responding by holding students accountable to expectations and deadlines set by their teachers. So, CCR is a shared goal and responsibility. Together we support students as they strive to become College & Career Ready.
Back to Contents
Again, my very best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful new year. As always, please feel free to contact me directly if you have questions, concerns or you would like to share positive things that are happening in our school community. You can contact me through email, [email protected], or by calling (585) 359-5202.
Sincerely,
Timothy R. Shafer, Ed.D. Interim Principal Rush-Henrietta Senior High School

Important Information for Seniors
If you have not already done so, please schedule a senior appointment with your counselor. This meeting is
mandatory, regardless of your post-secondary plans. You can schedule your appointment at the reception desk in the
Counseling Center.
Be sure you’ve submitted your electronic application using either the Common Application or a specific
college application.
If you’ve applied using a paper application, be sure to submit all required paperwork along with the green sheet
to Mrs. Ottman in the Counseling Center.
Submit a completed green sheet (transcript request form) to Mrs. Ottman in the Counseling Center for each
college you’ve applied to.
List all colleges you’ve applied to in your Naviance Student account under ‘Colleges I’m Applying to.’
College Acceptance:
When you receive an acceptance from a college or you know which college you will be
attending, fill out a yellow slip in the Counseling Office and give it to Mrs. Ottman. One
pennant will be put on display in the Cafeteria for each college a senior is accepted to.
If you applied to any colleges that require mid-year grades, see Mrs. Ottman in the
Counseling Office for a blue request form starting in January. Mid-year grades will be
submitted to colleges in February after first semester grades are complete.
After You Receive Your Admission Decisions:
You must notify each college or university that accepts you whether you are accepting or rejecting its offer. You
should make these notifications as soon as you have made a final decision regarding the college you wish to
attend no later than May 1, 2020. It is understood that May 1 will be the postmark date.
You must confirm your intention to enroll and, if required, submit a deposit to only one college or university.
The exception to this arises if you are put on a wait list by a college or university and are later admitted to that
institution. You may accept the offer and send a deposit. However, you must immediately notify the college or
university you previously indicated your intention to enroll.
If you are accepted under an early-decision plan, you must promptly withdraw the applications submitted to other
colleges and universities and make no additional applications. If you are an early-decision candidate and are
seeking financial aid, you need not withdraw other applications until you have received notification
about financial aid from the admitting early-decision institution.
