o This information is for counselor(s)/teacher(s) and will be used throughout parts of
your counselor & teacher letter of recommendation to personalize the letter and
help you stand out to college admission representatives. It is best practice to upload
your resume to your college application.
 If you already know school personnel you would ask to complete a letter of
recommendation, ask them now, and provide any additional information they may need.
Unless you are looking for two letters that may sound similar, do not share the same
information with the teachers you have asked to write letters.
 Plan ahead- We need 10 business days to complete letters of recommendation, transcript
requests and college forms. Be mindful of your application deadlines and be sure to give
us enough time to complete these documents from the date you request them.
 The Common Application is useful if you have two or more schools that use the Common
Application. Essay questions for the 2021-2022 Common Application are already available
and your account will be rolled over to next year. Therefore, you can begin working on this
early (www.commonapp.org ).
 Senior appointments will September 15th and run throughout the first semester. Due to
the high volume of appointments we have, this will be a student/counselor meeting only
but parents can email or call with additional questions.
 Be sure to check the Student Services website regularly for scholarship information and
register for your counselor’s Remind 101 updates and information.
 GPA and rank can be viewed in Power School. This is confidential information and cannot
be given out over the phone or by email.
