Looking Ahead to Next Term



The new term begins on Feb. 6th, which means new class schedules and transcripts for the students.

Since there are so many last-minute schedule changes, the new schedules won’t be finalized and ready to print until Feb. 10. Until then, I can check a student’s schedule in the computer: If I’m not here, and you need to figure out where someone is – please see Amanda in the main office or Shelly down in Counseling.

Transcripts for the first semester, that ends next week, will be available the week of Feb. 13.

It takes considerable time to get all these new pieces printed out and placed in students’ files – please be patient. Again, I can check things in the computer until transcripts are uploaded and printable.

The new 2017 Oregon Careers booklets have arrived. Feel free to give them out – generously: I ordered a lot.

The local scholarship applications are coming in at a steady pace. As they do, we’re making copies and placing them in the colored folders out on the wall adjacent to the ASPIRE office.

The application masters will be kept in an accordion file in the office. Please, if you see that a folder is empty, check the accordion file for extras. If there are none, either put the master on my desk with a note; or make some copies and replenish the folder on the wall. The senior newsletter that goes out mid-February includes a list of all these local awards: That’s usually when the students make a bee-line for the applications.

PLEASE DO YOUR BEST to talk students into applying for these. At least four of these generous sponsoring groups, usually swamped with YC applications, received none from our students last year. . . .sigh……
