PRIVATE SCHOOL APPLICATIONS

IS YOUR CHILD APPLYING TO PRIVATE SCHOOL

FOR HIGH SCHOOL?


If your child will be applying to a private high school or special program and a recommendation from a teacher or counselor/administrator is needed, please follow these important guidelines. . .

1. Be personal!  Emails are efficient, but please talk with your counselor and your teachers directly, with a smile and a please and a thank you, to request our assistance with your private school applications. 2. Please complete a “Brag Sheet”.  This sheet can be found in a basket in the Guidance Suite or on your counselor’s Google Classroom.  Return it directly to your counselor either by email or in person.  

3. Due to the volume of requests and to be able to do a thorough job in this process, it is necessary to turn in the “Brag Sheet” and any other paperwork to your counselor and those teachers you are requesting recommendations from at least 2 weeks before the deadline.

4. Most schools now use an online process for recommendations.  However if your school requires written/printed forms, you need to provide an addressed, stamped envelope (1 stamp for recommendations, 2 stamps for transcripts).  Online forms do not need envelopes or stamps. 

 

If you have any questions pertaining to the application process, please contact your 8th grade counselor to discuss.  Best of luck!
