Students: It's time to purchase your yearbook! The price is $70 until February 21st. The price will continue to increase through the spring so buy it now! Go to the Yearbook tab on the webpage to place your order. Remember ALL students are featured in the yearbook – it’s not just for seniors.

Seniors: If you are still thinking of applying to Central Connecticut State University, you are in luck! They are waiving fees for applications filed in the month of February thanks to their “Have a Heart” fundraising campaign. To take advantage of this opportunity get your materials ready and submitted before time runs out.

A new function has been added to PowerSchool. Students can now see previous course history and grades. When logged into PowerSchool, look for the tabs listing previous school years, and check out your prior courses and grades. This will be very helpful when selecting classes for next year.

Students are encourage to check out the Enrichment section of Naviance where you can learn about academic and exploration programs going on both during the school year and over the summer. Many summer programs have applications available now with spring deadlines. Recent additions include the UConn Conservation Ambassador Program, the Boston Leadership Institute, and summer institutes at NYU and WPI. To access enrichment opportunities, go to the Colleges tab in Naviance and scroll down toward the bottom of the box that says “Research Colleges”. You can also see Mrs. Carty in the Career Center for help finding them.
