C&CC will be closed for spring break. If you need to drop off applications or scholarships, please plan accordingly. Have a fun, safe spring break!
Senior Reminders
Graduation is right around the corner! Here are a few end-of-year reminders:
1. May 1 is the universal deadline to let schools know whether you are accepting their offer of admission or not. This is not a postmarked deadline.
2. Turn in any scholarship letters that you have received by May 1 to be recognized in the graduation program.
3. Turn in your final transcript request, if the college needs your final grades. If you are a scholarship athlete, you also need to send your final grades to the NCAA Clearinghouse. You can do this now and we will hold your request until final grades are posted.
4. Males 18 years of age must register with Selective Service. Go to sss.gov for more information. It’s the law!
5. Be sure to turn in your health clearance information (TB test and/or MMR shot record) to the school you will be attending. You will not be able to register for your classes until this is complete.
6. Don’t forget to thank the teachers and counselors who helped you with your college/scholarship recommendations and mid-year reports.
7. Still undecided about what to do after graduation? See Mrs. Yamamoto ASAP!
Junior Reminders
Juniors should be getting ready for senior year.
