Senior / Junior Section

1. SENIOR GRADES COUNT - Please remember that although this is your
last quarter of your senior year, you must keep your grades up if you
are planning to attend a four year college in the fall.  The college
you are planning to attend will receive a copy of your final
transcript.  All admissions decisions are conditional based on your
completion of high school with roughly the same GPA as when you were
admitted.  Colleges can and do revoke offers of admission.  Don't let
this happen to you! In addition, if you received a D or an F first
semester, you MUST let each of your colleges know now, if you haven't
done so already.  If you have questions or want to discuss your
situation, please see Ms. Abrams or Ms. Price.
