INFORMATION FOR SENIORS
**Seniors are reminded to get application materials to the guidance office TWO (2) WEEKS BEFORE they need to be sent out. **
LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
As a reminder to seniors and others who need letters of recommendation. Ask the person whom you would like to recommend you at least 2 weeks prior to the time you need the letter of recommendation sent. Always include with your request, unless specified otherwise, a pre-addressed, stamped, business size envelope for your recommender to send directly to the person or school who should receive your letter of recommendation.
After a week or so, it is appropriate to thank the person who wrote your letter of recommendation. After you receive word of your acceptance and/or rejection, it is thoughtful to let your recommender know what happened and what choice you have made. They had a hand in helping you and have an interest in your decision.
