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.

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
