Seniors- May 1st Deadline

You have been accepted to college, but your job is not done.  May 1st is the national date where colleges can drop their offer of admission if you do not respond to their offer by sending in your deposit.  Colleges should have sent you an email with the details.  If you are not sure what I am blogging about, and you are a senior who has been accepted to college, a quick call to the office of admissions will clear things up.  We are gonna miss you!

Health Occupations Program this Summer at UGA- Its free.

Dear Educator,

The University of Georgia (UGA) is looking for high-achieving current high school Juniors from diverse backgrounds, for a new summer program in the UGA College of Public Health!  We are seeking your help in identifying prospective students at your high school and letting them know about this opportunity. 

The program is called the Pre-Collegiate Summer Institute (PCSI) and is a one-week experience for students interested in attending the University of Georgia and majoring in a health, medicine, or science discipline.  PCSI will take place this summer from July 8^th through July 14^th in Athens, Ga. on the university campus.  During the week-long experience, PCSI students will reside on campus, receive education in the core areas of public health, and learn how to achieve success in the university setting.  Students will also enjoy fun extracurricular activities, make connections with other program participants, and become more acquainted with the UGA community.  The program is offered free of charge.  Only students who will be high school Seniors during the 2018-2019 school year are eligible.  Please see the attached flyer for application information.  Applications are due by Friday, May 11, 2018.

David Skinner- GDA Scholarships

The David Skinner Scholarships, offered by the Georgia Development Authority, are made available to students who are interested in majoring in an agriculture-related field in college.  The application due date is May 7th, and applications can be accessed at www.gdaonline.com. 

Reconciliation Day is May 2nd

We are at the end of the school year and grade accounts are at the point of finalizing.  On May 2nd, we will go past the grace period where students can clean up existing zeros in the grade book or retake any exams that are eligible for retakes.  On May 3rd, we will be able to calculate a student's ability to still (mathematically) pass a class.  Please note that more grades will be taken after May 2nd.  This date is a check point, not a finish line!

For a freshman, sophomore or junior, a failed class means one of a few things:

• retake the failed class next year
• retake the class in summer school

For a senior, a failed class can mean not graduating.  Early notification of this fact will allow families a "bad-surprise-free" May and will allow them to make plans for alternatives.  

Parents- PLEASE check Infinite Campus and do not assume that things are going well.  We work hard to communicate your student's status in classes throughout the year with you, but ultimately Infinite Campus is a foundational tool that is always on.  Please ride 'em hard through the finish line!

FREE Physicals for Student Athletes

FREE athletic physicals on April 12th!!
