.

1.  Attention seniors:  If you applied to a 4 year college and you received a D or an F on your transcript last semester, or if you dropped or changed a class that you reported on your college application, you ABSOLUTELY MUST let the college Admission Offices know!  You can either call or email, but emailing is the preferred method, so that you have proof of making them aware.  If you do not contact them concerning these circumstances, there is a very good chance that the colleges will revoke your admission offer, because you will be falsifying your application.  The UC and CSU campuses report that they will definitely revoke your admission offer, if you do not make them aware of these circumstances. For more information or questions, please see your counselor or Mrs. Sarabian

2.  Attention Seniors Who Are Attending Grad Nite: Bus Selections will happen on Wednesday, March 22nd, beginning at 7:30 am.  Make sure you have access to your school email account.  If you do not, please see Mrs. Eickelberg.  A link will be sent out to your school email that will allow you to select your Bus.  So be prepared!
