WHAT YOU MISSED ON MONDAY . . .

TODAY IN CLASS
There are an extraordinary number of students out today--some at a music function, and many others apparently sick.  Hope you feel better.

What you missed:  a full-period, information-packed presentation by the counselors (different ones, depending on period).  You will need to access the power-point on their web-site for the college application process.  Do NOT assume you know it all already.  Some aspects involve our own in-house "rules."
There were also two hand-outs:
  • Your own transcript (I have them).You need to check it carefully and report any discrepancies to the counselors' office BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  They will be working on final rankings starting Wednesday.
  • A "flow chart" for the college application process, broken down by types of schools.  Get this if you have any thoughts about possibly applying to college.
REMINDER TO EVERYONE FOR TOMORROW
On Friday I told you to read James Joyce's "Araby" for Tuesday--it starts on p. 1147.  It's a bit long, and more complicated ("richer," significant imagery, etc.) than others we've read.  So don't wait until you are too sleepy to start it.
