Week of January 20th, 2025
A Message From Mrs. Thomas
Attending school regularly helps students feel better about school—and themselves. By building this habit early, students learn right away that going to school every day is important, helping them succeed in high school and beyond.
STUDENT ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
Counseling Office News & Information
FAFSA WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS
During Parent Teacher Conferences, the Adrian College Financial Aid office will be at Madison from 3pm-7pm to help students/families submit their FAFSA. Any student interested in the Michigan Community College Guarantee which provides a scholarship to a community college for all Class of 2025 students MUST complete the FAFSA to be eligible for this scholarship opportunity. Students and parents/guardians must create a FSA ID to sign their FAFSA form. To review the steps to creating your FSA ID, check out this FSA ID Handout. FSA ID's can take 3-5 days to be verified, so families are strongly encouraged to create this as soon as possible. If you have any questions contact the HS counseling office. Hope to see you there!
