Attention Parents of seniors! This is a reminder about the upcoming FAFSA nights Monday, October 12 (A to Mh), and Tuesday, October 13 (Mo-Z) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Mrs. Acre’s Business Lab at the HS. Seniors and at least one parent will need to go to fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm and create a FSA ID. Seniors will also need to bring a copy of their parent's 2019 Federal taxes to be able to complete the FAFSA application. This event is very important for any senior that is planning to further their education after high school in any way, whether trade school, two-year college, or four-year college. Not attending this event could cause seniors to lose out on thousands of dollars in FREE student financial aid! Masks will be required by all who attend and temperatures will be monitored before entry. Subway sandwiches will be provided.
