Senior Meetings Start this week- Please sign up!!!
September 6 - October 14
Students may now schedule their mandatory Senior Advisement Meeting with their assigned School Counselor. You may schedule your appointment via this link: Rock Ridge Senior Booking
What to Expect from the Senior Meeting
Based on each individual student's interests and goals after High School, Counselors will outline the process for applying to colleges and/or provide information regarding military opportunities, community college, gap year, etc. In addition, counselors will review websites, forms, and items needed.
A Note about Transcript Request Forms
As a reminder, the Counselors follow College & University application deadlines only. That is, if you submit a transcript request form "much" earlier than the college deadline; the Counselors will still abide by the College/University deadlines. The Counseling office provides internal department submission deadlines for all forms that students will be required to follow. These deadlines allow Counselors enough time to prepare forms and send a completed packet to each College by the College & University application deadline.
For Senior students who may have an October 15th college application deadline; the deadline for submitting your Transcript Request form to the Counseling office is September 22, 2023. These students should also set up their Senior meeting as soon as they can.
