Scheduling 2024-2025
The CCR Office received access to the master schedule on 5/1/24. We are currently reviewing student schedules and will make the necessary adjustments based on the following priority list:
1) Students with “hard conflicts.” Our first priority is to honor your original course requests.
2) Seniors that need a specific course to meet graduation requirements.
3) Students that have failed a required course and need to retake it.
4) Preferential course requests in the order that they were received in the College & Career Office. Preferential course requests can be made after the first three priorities have been met. We will announce this date in a future CCR Update.
AP Free Score Sends & Score Release
Students are reminded to activate their free score send by the June 20 deadline. Every year that you take an AP® Exam, you have the option to send one score report for free to the college, university, or scholarship organization of your choice. Score reports include both this year's and past AP Exam scores unless you choose to withhold or cancel a score.
AP Exam scores will be available starting Monday, July 8.
Check that you can sign in to your College Board account.
Make sure that you remember your login credentials by signing in before scores are released in July. This is the same account that you use to access My AP or other College Board resources.
Make sure we have your current email address.
If you’ve changed your email address, update it in your account.
Don’t create a new account if you already have one.
Duplicate accounts can cause delays in getting your AP scores. Sign in with the same account you used to register and enroll in AP class sections.
Senior Exit Survey & Final Transcripts
Seniors: If you missed the Senior Celebration on 5/1/24, please complete the Senior Exit Survey and Graduation Survey in Naviance. These surveys are used to send final transcripts to all colleges/universities, military branches, and future employers. Final transcripts cannot be sent until these surveys are completed.
- Log in to your Naviance account.
- Once on your account, go to your “About Me” tab, click “Surveys from your school”
- The Graduation Survey and Senior Exit Survey are under “My Surveys/Surveys Not Started”
- Final Transcript Request is the second question on the Senior Exit Survey
- Make sure to complete this very important step so we can send your transcripts to the proper destination!
- When senior grades are final in mid-June, all final transcript requests will be processed and sent.
Contact your counselor or Mr. Gill with any questions.
FAFSA Graduation Requirement
96% of the Class of 2024 have met the requirement.
P. A. 101-180 requires all Illinois public high school students to complete either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid (Alternative Application) as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma. Additionally, high schools are expected to provide students and their families with any support or guidance necessary to comply with the requirement. For students who choose not to file an application, a waiver may be completed by their parent. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) makes available through their website a FAFSA Nonparticipation Form (English and Spanish) for this purpose. Check out our FAFSA Update for more information.
**If you have not yet met this requirement, send a screenshot or email to matt.gill@d303.org with evidence that you have completed the FAFSA application or the waiver. In order to receive your diploma at the graduation ceremony, this requirement needs to be completed by Monday morning at 10:00 a.m.**

Job Shadow
Job Shadow Program
The City of St. Charles is offering a career pathway job shadow program to St. Charles high school students interested in exploring a career in municipal government. You may schedule up to three different job shadow experiences per school year, during which you can explore work sites, ask questions, see demonstrations, and learn about education and certifications. Students will be responsible for transportation to and from the City. The date, time, and length of the job shadow will be scheduled outside of school hours directly with the City’s job shadow program coordinator. Please return your completed registration form to Mr. Matt Gill in the College & Career Office.

College Visits-In Person & Virtual
Virtual campus visits are an excellent way to learn more about prospective colleges and universities. These visits can be a precursor to an in-person visit over the summer or in the fall. Virtual campus tour websites are listed below:
All virtual and in-person meetings will be in the LRC (unless otherwise noted) and students must obtain a pass from the Office of College and Career Readiness at least one day prior to attending. This pass then should be signed by the teacher of the class for that period. While we encourage students to attend these meetings, please note that what is happening in the classroom is more important. Teachers may deny the request to miss class if they feel it is in the student’s best interest to be in attendance.
If you have a conflict with a college visit, please email Patty.Hofer@d303.org for the college rep's contact information.
For Scheduled Virtual Visits: Click the link to enter the live virtual conference with a college rep. For the full listing go to the College Visit page on the CCR Website.
Upcoming Visits:
East High School had 159 college visits this school year.
Information for local scholarships and select national scholarships is available in the College and Career Office and through the scholarship listing on the CCR website. This list will continue to be updated throughout the school year.
