TRAVELnter Break Travel Information
Check-out days are also test days. Please do not check your child out early! If your child misses the morning classes that day, the absence will be considered unexcused, and he or she will receive a grade of zero for the test/s missed. In addition to the unexcused absence, you will be responsible for booking some form of airport transportation other than the FAA shuttle. Our transportation will not be available to those leaving before – or coming back later than -- the published check-out/check-in dates and times. We very much appreciate your cooperation and understanding at this most hectic time of year!

2. A. Seniors should be fully aware of college application deadlines as late submission could preclude acceptance of an otherwise qualified candidate.
B. Seniors and their parents should begin reviewing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website (www.fafsa.ed.gov) to ensure that they have the necessary documentation prior to the January 1st, 2008, opening date for submission. (A handout was given to each senior with FAFSA information).
C. Seniors interested in applying to the Service Academies or for ROTC scholarships are reminded that time is very short and to report to Guidance for assistance with this lengthy process.
D. Seniors are also reminded to register with the NCAA Clearinghouse at www.NCAAClearinghouse.net and Florida Bright Futures Scholarships @ www.FloridaStudentFinancialAid.org.
E. Finally, seniors are constantly reminded not to procrastinate with their college application process. A number of seniors have already submitted college applications and received their letters of acceptance.
3. On a related topic, parents are once again encouraged to contact their son's/daughter's guidance counselor regarding the college application/admission process. Our Seniors have been advised finalize writing their college essays; to procure 2 to 3 letters of recommendation; to compile their high school resumes; to sign up for additional standardized testing, (i.e., ACT, TOEFL, SAT re-test); to register with the NCAA Clearinghouse; to investigate scholarship opportunities and sources; and most of all, to maintain or improve their Senior year grades and not procrastinate with their college application material.

An additional computer has been set up in the Guidance Office for seniors who either are having trouble accessing college websites due to the Academy's firewall or need counselor assistance in submitting their college applications on-line.

5. Seniors who feel that their current SAT or ACT scores are not indicative of their true academic ability have been encouraged to register for subsequent testing. Time is growing short to take either of these tests and being able to submit the scores to selected colleges and universities. Registration information and forms are available in the Guidance Office.
