Senior Year Notes 🎓
Senior Project News
By Tuesday, February 4th, seniors need to have written a reflection of their progress so far and share it with their panel. This reflection will help guide the panel’s feedback during the next meeting, which will take place after school on Thursday, February 6th. Each student will meet for 20 minutes with their panel and it is the student’s responsibility to make sure they arrive promptly to their assigned time. The protocol for this panel meeting is available on the Class of 2025 Google Classroom page. Seniors should continue to meet with their mentor weekly in order to progress on their research and applied pieces. Please reach out to your child's senior project mentor with any questions.
