HIGHLAND HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
===================================================
Dear Highland Students & Families,
Hope your Thanksgiving break was one filled with gratitude, some respite, and all the
foods. Here are some items for you to keep in mind during this warm up to the end of
the calendar year.
Seniors: Did Your GPA Come Up?
If you are a senior who has applied to college, training programs, or career technical
education and your GPA came up, even a little, after Tri 1, please have your updated
transcripts sent to the colleges and programs of your choice. Go to highland.sd25.us
click on “Find it Fast” and in the upper right go to “popular searches.” At the far left, scroll
down and click on “Request a Transcript.” Then click on the big red button that says
“Current Student Transcript Requests Form.” Easy peasy 4-page form. Visit the CCAs
with any questions.
FSA ID / FAFSA
Seniors, have you completed and submitted your FAFSA? It’s a two-step process: 1)
you create an FSA ID, 2) you complete and submit the FAFSA with the help of your
family, your guardian, or your parents. The CCAs are glad to help you get this important
document done.
Senioritis – Don’t Go There
Just like the headline says: don’t let senioritis afflict you. It’s a real thing and can derail
some of the best-laid plans and aspirations. There’s a line in a movie I like for you to
keep in mind: You are good. You are kind. You are smart. We want you to be your best
and meet the future confident and strong.
My friend Dave Drews would call this hair-on-fire time. OK, it’s not quite that bad, but it’s
hectic and the first trimester is over already. The rest of the year will go by in a shot.
Don’t take your eyes off the ball.
