Last steps for seniors

Senioritis is hitting everyone hard. The weather is warm, school is ending, and most seniors already know their plans for next year. It is definitely tempting to forget about school and go into summer mode, but there are still a few more tasks to complete before graduation.

First, make sure your class dues are paid. This ensures you can participate in all the upcoming senior activities, including prom and the senior picnic.

Next, log into Naviance to confirm your plans for next year. If you are going to college, click the “colleges I'm applying to” tab, scroll down and enter the institution you will be attending. This confirms your plans and lets the school know where to send your final information.

While in Naviance, you also need to request your final transcript. You can do this by clicking “manage my transcript” and submitting the request. This lets your future school know that you stayed on track and finished the academic year strong.

Another important item on the checklist is prom tickets. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement, but do not forget to actually purchase your ticket. Prom this year is June 6 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington. You can turn in your permission slip to social studies teacher Chris Chatfield in Room 418.

If you took any AP exams this month, make sure to log into your College Board account and select the institution where you want your scores sent. Do not let all that hard work go to waste—get those college credits!
​
It has been a long four years, so do not let a few missed forms or deadlines trip you up at the finish line. Taking care of these small details now means you can truly relax and soak up every second of these final high school memories without any anxiety. Good luck, seniors!
