SENIOR NOTES

*        Hey Seniors, yearbook senior ad prices will be going up on December 18th! For $75.00 you can reserve your senior ad. For order information visit Jarocki in room 603 or the finance center, or go online on the El Diamante Website.

*        Seniors-it's time to complete the EDHS scholarship application.  You can access it by going to the school website, clicking on the student services tab, clicking scholarships new in the left hand column, and you'll be able to get to it from there.  If you worked on your scholarship essay in your English class, you can just copy and paste it into the application.  If not, it doesn't need to be long-no more than one page.  Here is the prompt:  Provide information that will distinguish you from other applicants in terms of your goals, aspirations, and achievements.  You may indicate other information about yourself or your family that may help the scholarship committee discern your need for a scholarship.  The deadline is January 31, so don't procrastinate!

*        Cap & Gowns:  Seniors if you missed your opportunity to place your orders, you have 3 options to ensure you order in time for graduation.

1)      Online at Jostens.com

2)      Calling 1-800-JOSTENS

3)      Mailing to or dropping off at our local Visalia office - 1222 W Murray Ave Visalia CA 93291

*        Scholarship Workshop:  Seniors-Ms. Bitney is hosting an ongoing scholarship workshop on Mondays and Wednesdays after school in room 605 from 3:30 to 4:30.  This is a great resource for assistance and information about scholarships, so make sure to go by and see her.

*        College Application Workshops: Seniors and parents!  See the attached list of College Application Workshops as well as other helpful workshops and informational meetings that will be held at El Diamante and the District Office throughout the year.  We will advertise events at El Diamante individually as they come up.

PARENT NOTES

*        Attention Parents: To purchase Miner Swag please visit the EDHS Fan store on the EDHS Website.
http://vusd.org/ElDiamante

*        Attention Parents of Advanced Placement (AP) Students:  All AP exams will be available for purchase beginning December 1, 2017.  The cost of each AP exam offered through college-board is $94.  You may purchase the exams either in the Finance Office on campus OR on the EDHS web-store online.  All test purchases must be made no later than February 15, 2018.  No deposit is required, but exams must be paid in full by February 15th for El Diamante to order your exam from CollegeBoard.  If your student is taking multiple exams you can purchase one exam at a time to help break up the payments.

Any student who does not purchase their exams IN FULL by February 15th will not have an exam ordered due to ordering deadlines and procedures implemented by the Collegeboard.
