Seniors

Some of you have asked what steps you should be taking this fall to better prepare you for life after high school. We've put together this comprehensive checklist to assist in the process.

Fall Senior Checklist

The presentation below was given to the Seniors during Seminar on 9/4/24.

Parents of Seniors:

To ensure your child looks their best in the yearbook, please schedule a senior portrait session with a professional photographer soon. You can find contact information for popular photographers here. Note: A torso-up shot is recommended.

If you don’t provide a professional portrait by January 31, we will use the school photo taken by Geskus Photography for their senior portrait in the yearbook. Submit your high-resolution senior portrait as soon as possible using this form.

Reach out to the Yearbook teacher, Mike Cornell, with any questions: [email protected]

Registration is open for the Senior All-Night Party. Visit the website to register and learn more. 

Students can request transcripts through the Xello app that is on their Clever dashboard. Once a student has begun to track a college application in Xello, they have the option to request their transcript be sent to the institution of their choice. Instructions can be found below.

 How to request a transcript

Students use both Common App and Xello to help track their college applications. For colleges that work with Common App, students send requests to educators to send application forms on their behalf. They request a counselor send their counselor forms, and a teacher send a teacher evaluation.

They'll continue to complete the rest of their application tasks directly in Common App, including building out their profile, creating the My Colleges list, and submitting the college application.

Once students have synced their accounts, the colleges they save in Common App will show in Xello. Students will also see all the colleges that use Common App by the logo next to the college name. By clicking on one of these schools, they can begin sending a request to an educator.

Watch this video to see how to connect your Common App to Xello.
