It is HOMECOMING week! Check out all of the community and student activities that are happening this week and how you can support! We look forward to seeing you there!
Attendance Nook
If you have a student who is out for multiple days due to sickness, whenever possible, please visit the doctor and either send the medical note to us, or have your student drop off the medical note at the attendance desk. This helps with the verification process and allows us to plan appropriately for your student's academic success.

College Application Week
College Application Week
September 25-29, 2023
College Application Week is part of College GO! And is a national initiative of the American College Application Campaign (ACAC). The goal is to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure each student submits at least one admissions application. Many Indiana universities join in the celebration by taking away their college application fees for a day so that students can apply for free. See the attachment that lists which Indiana colleges will waive their application fees during College Application Week!
*Students must apply directly through the university's online application in order to receive the fee waiver, not through the Common Application.

Please SAVE THE DATE for our Senior Financial Aid Night on November 15th, 6:30-7:30 with INvestEd. This will assist families in learning about the many changes to this year's FAFSA, which is now required for every student. Invite and more details will come as we near this event.
