2020-21 Senior Information Sheet

All seniors are required to complete a senior information sheet and submit it to your counselor by September 9, 2020. Your teachers and counselors will use this information to write a letter of recommendation on your behalf. Please include all activities you have been involved in from 9th - 12th grade. This can include outside activities in the community and any service projects. The more information that you provide, the better your letter will be! This is your chance to brag about yourself.

Download the Microsoft Word document and make sure to do a save as and rename it with your name. Add your information and then email it to your counselor.

Mid Year Transcripts / Reports

Many schools request a mid-year transcript/report be sent after your first semester grades. If you have applied to a Common or Coalition app school that is asking for this, please email your counselor by January 17th. Please request all other transcripts (mid-year reports) including UGA deferrals through Parchment.

Spring Final Exam Exemption

Seniors may exempt their final exam in any class in which the following criteria are met:

85 or higher (before honors points and without recovery)
No suspensions, in-school or out-of-school during the entire spring semester.
No more than 5 absences from the individual class

Exemption is by period/class. It is possible to meet the requirements and exempt one class, but not others. Before their last day, seniors must take around the Senior Exemption/Check Out form to each of their teachers. This form must be completed, signed by a parent or guardian and turned in to the Attendance Office before the last day of classes.
