SVHS Green and Gold

Calendar reminder: Wednesday, Nov. 27 is an early release day for all students. Schools and offices are closed on Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday, Nov. 29.

We are now beginning the second marking period. Parents, if you have concerns about your student grades and attendance, please reach out via email to their teacher (s). If you need to access your student’s MyMCP portal, please email your students counselor for your students activation code. (Fellows A-Cooke; Murray Cooper-Fou; Moore Franco-Manu; Matthews Manz-Riv; Yarmus Ro-Z)

Any 9th graders with overdue Naviance lessons should be working to catch up on these, especially their 4-year Course Plan. Also, the Personal Body lessons should be completed in the Google classroom.

Seniors, your next college application deadlines are December 15 and 30. Anyone with a December 1st deadline should have been taken care of by now; if not, remember, we are on holiday in 2 days and Dec. 1 we are closed. Make sure you have your recommendation and test scores requested to meet these deadlines. Work with your counselor and Mrs. Maloney to be on time with getting your information to the colleges.

Checkout the Scholarship files in the College and Career Center! Come take a look and see what might fit your needs academically or by interest. Remember, scholarship searching and essay writing is like a part-time job; you have to put time in in order to get paid. Here are a few: Legacy of Life Scholarship, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority- Pearls of Hope Scholarship, the B. Davis Scholarship, and the DMV Scholarships for students going to Montgomery College and Dreamers.

Dual enrollment for Spring 2020 Semester is now open to juniors and seniors; late Dec deadline but don’t wait. Mr. Yarmus in Counseling Services is your guy if you have questions.

Applications for ACES will close December 20th for rising juniors. See Mr. Daryn Moore (240-676-2018) in the Career Center if you have questions about the application or ACES.

Parents, you can always apply for the MCPS Free/Reduced lunch program online, not just at the beginning of the school year. Qualifying allows students to also apply for fee waivers for free SAT/ACT tests as well as reduced cost to the AP and IB testing. As seniors, students who qualify usually receive PELL Grants when completing the FAFSA for college tuition and possibly more state and federal grants for college. Sign up today to see if you qualify at MySchoolApps.com This form must be completed each year.
