Greetings students, parents, and friends of Middletown High School.

This is our last week of instruction for the fall semester before finals week. Students, it is

important to complete and submit your assignments to your teachers this week.

Congratulations to our student ESports team, they have qualified for and will be competing to

“place” in the western regional tournament.

Thank you for your support. Have a wonderful week!

This is the last week of instruction before finals. Let’s focus and get this done! Please come see me if you need any help!

Senior To Do List:

Common App - complete and if I am giving you a recommendation, get me your brag sheet!

Login and create your FAFSA or CADAA account and create invites for parents. FAFSA and CADAA are open! This is the perfect time to get this done!

https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa      -  FAFSA

https://dream.csac.ca.gov/landing  - CADAA

Finish up and research scholarship applications. There are links below for more scholarship opportunities.

Not going to college? No problem, work on your classes and get everything caught up so you graduate. Credit Recovery students GET GOING!

Come see me if you have questions or need help! Please do not hesitate! I am here to help all of you!

Financial Aid Information:

Anticipated date the FAFSA and CADAA ARE open. They are going through an initial process right now, trying to get rid of any bugs or problems that were encountered last year.

Students can create their account and invite contributors (parent/parents/guardians) to also create an account. This way when it opens, you will be ready to go. Students need their own personal email account, honestly, this should be set up in their Freshman year because we also use it for dual-enrollment sign-ups. Students should not use their MUSD email! 

Parents who file separate tax returns need separate accounts.

Student name needs to be an exact match to Social Security Card, also student school records need to be an exact match for Cal Grant.

Contributors without a Social Security number should apply very early, during that time there has historically not been a manual verification process.

The FAFSA and CADAA form actually help determine the different types of financial aid ply and pay the fee for the Common APP, only to find out that the University they were applying to did not charge an application fee. Do your research!

Gift Aid - grants and scholarships

Self-help Aid - Loans and student employment

Federal Work Study Programs - these are better than a job because academics always come first with these positions.

Please let me know if you are interested in a “Cash for College” night. I would like to hold it in the first week of December if there is interest.
