Schurr Announcements
SCHURR Expectation of the Week: Communication
“Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides."
Rita Mae Brown
Attendance Rate: Our latest attendance rate was 94.63%. Let's work hard to keep our attendance rate above 95%. Please greet students at the door with your uplifting Spartan Spirit and engaging 4Cs learning environments. Remind them that they are loved at Schurr.
Advanced Placement (AP) Tests: We are excited that many of our students will be taking multiple AP tests these next two weeks. Please be cognizant that AP students will be reviewing with their teachers, taking extra time studying so they may need time to complete other assignments. Thank you for your compassion for these courageous, hard working Spartans.
College Office Announcements: Scholarship season is here. Check out the various scholarships available at the SHS College Office website to see the scholarships offered. Paper copies of the scholarship applications are available at the College Office.
FAFSA is open: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. FAFSA is how Seniors can get both federal and state grants (free money for college) and guaranteed student loans. It is needed for the California College Promise (free tuition at community college). Start with your FSA ID. (You need your Social Security Number and a personal email.) Create an FSA ID for/with your parent. Get PRIOR year taxes ready (if parent filed). STEP By step guide. We will have workshops to help. No Social Security Number? Do DREAM ACT. It's much easier to do FAFSA than ever. Get started NOW!
FAFSA Completion Support: On April 29, Schurr will host Career Day. We will also be conducting a parent FAFSA workshop in the library to start and complete FAFSA Applications. Parents should bring their child's SSN, their W-2, and a copy of the first page of 2022 Taxes. For non-SSN students, there will be support for the Dream Act. We appreciate your support.
FAFSA Fridays! Need help or have questions on completing your FAFSA, go to the College Office in the library any period 1-4 to get help.
Senior Signing Day ("Next Step): Seniors, please complete the Schurr Final Senior Survey. Please fill out once you know what college you will be attending. We use this information for many purposes. Thank you for your support.
