Please click on HSPT Math Prep Flyer for information on a prep session for the HSPT.
All shadowing is to be scheduled by the individual. St. Lawrence does not schedule any shadowing dates for students. It is highly recommended that the dates chosen be on a Wednesday. All students are to return back to school if the shadowing day is only a half day. Students are responsible for the homework for that evening. Please email me or Mrs. White with the shadowing dates so all teachers and the office know where the student is. If you are unsure as to how Shadowing can be scheduled, most of the high school websites have that information.
Confidential Recommendation and Transcript Request form is due to the homeroom teacher by December 11th. We only need the first page - please make sure that it's filled out in pen and signed. This form is on the high school websites. Make sure to mark at the top all the schools where your son/daughter is applying. We only want one form, not one form per school.
Please do not provide us with a stamped envelope. All of our paperwork is hand-delivered to the Admissions Directors so there's no need to waste a stamp.
Teacher Recommendation forms are due to the teachers by December 1st. Make sure to read whether or not the form is optional. This form is on the high school websites. The form is different depending on the high school so please don't print out a recommendation form for Mitty and ask for it to be sent to St. Francis.
