FSC Principal's Update
November 5, 2021
Please click on the Wildcat Serve link toward the bottom of this newsletter. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to help people in our community. We can make sure they have food for the upcoming holidays! Help if you are able.
I know some of you have been asking about any after school help offered/tutoring for students. Please see the message below in regard to that.
Before we know it, it will be Winter Break. Please make sure that you are checking grades in Progress Book. The end of the quarter and exams will be here soon. Second quarter always flies by because of the two breaks.
Have a wonderful weekend. And, as always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions!

Counseling Update
Transcript reminders: Students need to request their transcripts in advance from their counselor - please don’t wait until the last minute! Test scores are not included on transcripts and can be sent to colleges through your ACT account.
Fee waivers: Think your family might qualify for fee waivers for college applications, AP testing or the ACT? Please make sure to fill out the SSO Household Information Survey in Final Forms as soon as possible!
SCOIR reminder: College application deadlines are quickly approaching. Please be sure to add colleges to your SCOIR account with the corresponding application deadline. Transcripts will not be sent unless the information is in your SCOIR account.
FAFSA reminder: FAFSA opened Oct. 1 - the sooner you fill it out, the more federal and state funding you’ll be considered for. Don’t wait!
AP fees due Nov. 8: AP test fees must be paid in SchoolPay or through the Board Office prior to test ordering. Unpaid tests will not be ordered and students will be unable to test.
