Seniors, here are the top three things you should be doing right now…
- Learn about the FAFSA Submission Summary. Log in to your StudentAid.gov account to check your FAFSA status, view your FAFSA Submission Summary, and make sure your FAFSA college list includes all colleges on your application list.
- Check the online applicant portals for each college you applied to. This is how they will communicate with you if any additional information is needed to complete your application, and where you go to provide updates to your application. Pay attention to deadlines.
- Maximize your potential to earn scholarships. Many universities have an additional application students may submit to be considered for college-specific scholarships, like UNL’s Supplemental Scholarship Application. Log in to your college portals to see if this applies to you.
Sophomore family night was a success! Students and families who were unable to attend last week are welcome to view the presentation and reach out to your school counselor if you have any questions. We’ll also be available to visit with families during parent-teacher conferences on November 10th.
Course planning for the 2026-2027 school year is now underway. All current sophomores have already met with their school counselor to continue exploring strengths/interests and update their Synergy Course Plan. Resources for sophomores have already been posted in their Class of 2028 Google Classroom. Beginning the week of November 10th, we’ll be working with current freshmen on the course planning process, and then resources will be posted in their Class of 2029 Google Classroom. Families are an important part of this academic planning process, so now is a great time to ask your child about their college/career plans, or continue exploring at home, and look over their Course Plan in Synergy ParentVUE (use a computer for the best viewing experience). The window for course planning closes on November 25th. Rising seniors are also welcome to update their course plan, but will meet with their school counselor to complete course request for their final year of high school once the official Course Request window opens in January.
