MONTHLY CHECKLIST

File your FAFSA if you have not already done so!!!
Many colleges will have deadlines approaching regarding housing and enrollment fees...CHECK YOUR EMAIL!!
Make and check some things off of your “before high school is over” bucket list...winter can seem to last forever, focus on accomplishing something on your bucket list to make the dreary days more bearable!
If you haven’t already asked teachers for generic recommendation letters and updated your resume it is a good time to do that...scholarship season is upon us and these items are good to already have checked off your to-do list.

SENIOR UPDATE

3rd QUARTER SENIOR MEETINGS WILL TAKE PLACE THE WEEK OF JANUARY 27TH-JANUARY 31ST.

A NOTE FROM MRS. BASYE
Welcome to the period of senior year that I lovingly call “The Senior Slump”...the new-ness has worn off, May is too far away to celebrate and you find yourself stuck feeling well slumpy. It’s this time of the year when you really have to stay strong and persevere. May will get here and for some it will come too fast! It is at this time that it is important to remember that while first impressions are important; what is going to be your LASTING impression. What will you be remembered for, what will be your legacy at Concordia High School. It can be terribly easy for students to allow the slump to affect your attitude and behaviors, in this time STAY STRONG and demonstrate the courage it takes to remain the person that you and I know you are. That means keeping up with your attendance, your grades, and yes even respectful behavior because these next four months will be your LASTING impression.
