These will be the only 2 days for measurements and orders, so it is essential that your son or daughter place the order on either day. If you know your child will be absent on these days, please drop off a note with his or her name, height and weight along with payment to the High School Senior Office.
Orders placed after December 5th or 6th will be assessed a $10.00 late fee
and must be paid by Cash or Money Order ONLY. (NO CHECKS)
Since only those seniors who have ordered caps and gowns will be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony, we would appreciate your reinforcement of the importance of placing this order on Tuesday, December 5th or Wednesday, December 6th.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Moran and Mark D. Sidman
Information on Financial Aid (FAFSA & CSS PROFILE)
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is required for families to receive financial aid and is often required for college sponsored scholarships and grants. This year, the FAFSA is being updated and will not be available until December 1, 2023, two months later than last year. The Federal Student Aid Office of the Department of Education stated, "the redesigned FAFSA form is the most ambitious and significant redesign of the federal student aid application and delivery in decades, and will significantly simplify how students, parents, and other educational stakeholders use the FAFSA form starting this year." If you would like to read more about the changes that are taking place, please click on the underlined link Federal Student Aid website.
In addition to the FAFSA, many private colleges and scholarship programs may have you complete the CSS Profile to award non-federal institutional aid. This application is available starting on October 1, 2023. Colleges may have different deadlines so be sure to check with each school you are applying to.
