Hello DVC,

This is a friendly reminder that all letter of recommendation requests for college applications should be requested by tomorrow, October 8th. This deadline allows enough time for teachers to write a letter of quality and ensures a timely submission. This deadline was one of the many deadlines mentioned in your Senior Year Timeline_21-22 that I passed out during Jackson’s class.

As a reminder, please request your recommendations through Naviance. For recommenders outside of school, you would have to send them the hard copy teacher/counselor recommendation form that is found on Common App and have them mail the form to your colleges individually.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me: maldrete@davincischools.org
