Requesting Counselor Letter of Recommendation (Also due 10/8)

October 7, 2021 by Monique Aldrete

Hi Seniors and Parents,

An important piece of information that may have gotten lost in communication is that if you’re applying to colleges via the Common App, you need to request a counselor recommendation. For students who are applying via Common Application, please fill out this google form by tomorrow, October 8th @ 12 pm. Mrs. Thomas and I need this information to ensure that we submit counselor recommendation letters before their Early Action/Early Decision/Regular Decision Deadlines.

Also, please make sure your Naviance and Common Application accounts are matched before submitting this google form. If they are not matched, recommendations and important school documents will not be sent to the correct schools.

Only Seniors who are applying via Common App need to fill out this form.
