INTELLECTUAL

COFFEE WITH THE SOPHOMORE COUNSELOR: Sopho-

more parents/guardians are invited to attend Coffee with the Counselor on

Wednesday, November 14, at 7:30 AM OR 12 noon. Mrs. Caitlin Narret-

ta, the sophomore counselor, will have a brief presentation about TOPS/

college and career readiness, graduation requirements, Pre-ACT standard-

ized testing that will be held in the spring semester and more. Please keep

an eye out for an email at the beginning of November with instructions on

how to RSVP.

COLLEGE APPLICATIONS: Applications are now being accepted

for the next fall semester at many colleges and universities. Some schools

have priority deadlines for scholarship consideration as early as November

1. It is important that your son or daughter complete admissions applica-

tions during this time. Please encourage your senior to complete admis-

sions applications and to see his/her senior counselor for assistance.

FILING THE FAFSA: Senior parents, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) filing season began October 1. Please file your FAFSA early; it is possible some financial aid awards letters could arrive earlier in the year, giving your student enough time to make decisions on where to attend college. Waiting too late means risking the loss of financial aid based on a first-come, first-serve basis. Remember, the FAFSA is FREE so please be wary of websites asking you to pay a fee. Also, the FAFSA is the only application for TOPS. Visit www.fafsa.gov .

The student should return to school the day following his/her absence with a letter of verification of attendance which will be provided by the college or university upon re-quest.

REQUEST FOR COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE LETTERS: In order to assist in college preparation and planning, it is critical that seniors and their parents provide Ms. Montgomery with copies of all letters of acceptance from colleges and universities whether or not the senior will eventually attend that particular school. It is extremely important that seniors provide Ms. Montgomery with copies of their scholarship letters as well even if they choose not to accept the scholarship or attend the school offering the award. Students have traditionally been honored for scholarships received at the Senior Honors Convocation held in May. The only way we can publish this information is if parents or students inform us. Please provide copies of acceptance and scholarship letters (or forward acceptance emails) to Ms. Montgomery as they are received.

SENDING ACT SCORES: Colleges and univer sities must receive an official ACT score from ACT when processing applications. When regis-tering for the ACT, a student may request that his/her score report be sent to a college or university. If requesting during the registration process, the first four (4) score reports are FREE and automatically sent once scores are processed. Additional score reports may be requested online for a fee at www.actstudent.org through the student’s account.

SENDING TRANSCRIPTS: Since St. Michael participates in the Louisiana Student Transcript System (STS), all transcripts will be sent electronically to the Louisiana Department of Education. Louisiana public colleges and universities, will obtain applicants’ transcripts electronically through STS. Private colleges or out-of-state schools will need a tran-script sent from St. Michael. A Document Request Form will need to be signed by the student in order to mail a transcript. If you have any ques-tions regarding this information, please contact Ms. Cassie Montgomery, Senior Counselor & College Advisor. For Dual Enrollment and/or AP credit students, the college transcript and/or AP credit will need to be requested from the accrediting institution.

SPECIAL NEEDS: Please contact the grade level counselor to let him/her know of any special factors that are affecting your child so the counselor can confidentially communicate the special needs to each of your child’s teachers. “Special needs” may include, but are not limited to the following: death, divorce, illness, medication, disabilities, etc. Please contact Mrs. Katie Zylicz, Individual Student Needs Coordinator, if you would like to seek accommodations for a student who has a documented disability (i.e. ADHD, dyslexia, auditory problem, physical disability, etc.).

St. Michael High School’s Annual Giving Campaign, the Warrior

Fund for Excellence, was recently launched. The generous support

and dedicated commitment of parents, grandparents, alumni, and

friends allows St. Michael to continue to strengthen its financial fu-

ture.

The Warrior Fund for Excellence is vital to the development and

growth of each of these programs at the school. This year you

have the opportunity to give to one of three pre-designated areas

including academics, scholarships, and athletics. You can also select

to give to the greatest area of need at St. Michael High School.

In a little over 3 weeks we have raised just under $30,000 and are

half way to reaching our annual fund goal of $60,000 from all do-

nors.

Make your gift today at www.smhsbr.org/giving and help us

reach our goal!
