Letter of Recommendation There is NO REASON not to have a letter of recommendation at this time. Many colleges release their application on August 1st.  Teachers are not always easy to contact at this time….why not have a letter ready to go now! Letters-make a formal request, agree on a deadline, submit a formal letter of appreciation Who writes the letter?   Templates are available 

What is your next step? Encourage job shadowing There are endless opportunities for our students that are graduating Success is something different to each student Military Reserves, Community College, University, Trade/Apprenticeships Trade School/Apprentice Resources: http://www.wmca.info/ http://mltai.org/ www.miroad2work.org/michigan-apprenticeships/

Study for the SAT at KHANacademy.org.  All Juniors were guided through this process and established with the test prep website last November. ACT Workshop-visit www.collegeplanninghelp.net (Dr. Bernier)

College Applications Many schools release their application on August 1st There is absolutely no reason not to apply prior to September 1st Teachers and students are both very busy at the start of the school year Students are advised to ask for a letter of recommendation now and let the teacher know that you will be asking them to upload the letter in August
