On Wed., February 26th, I had the pleasure of accompanying 16 of our sophomores to UCDavis and Woodland Community College. It was a great trip, filled with information for our students.
Course requests are now closed and we will be working towards a master schedule and scheduling students. I believe I have spoken to anyone that had not filled out a course request but if I missed you somehow, please let me know! Thank you all so much and I look forward to planning another year.
Senior To Do List:
If you have courses in Edgenuity, GET THEM DONE! I check everyday, even weekends to see if assignments need to be unlocked and I am not seeing any. Please work on these in all your spare time. Time is running out!
If you are planning on attending a community college and need help with the application, please come see me and I am happy to help.
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!
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. If you are not going to fill out a FAFSA, I need you to sign an Opt Out Form by April 1st.
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 position.
