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.  To learn more about the CSS Profile and learn how to complete the application please click on the following link: CSS PROFILE

2023 – 2024 SENIOR PARKING APPLICATION:

 

Dear Senior:

 

Parking on school grounds is a senior privilege. You must have a Connetquot High School Parking Tag issued by the school and displayed from your vehicle’s rearview mirror when parking in the student parking lot.  In order to receive your parking tag, you must read, complete and return this application to Security at the high school.

 

Only SENIORS with a New York State Class D driver’s license can apply for a parking tag.  Please note, a Class D License is issued only to people 18 years of age or older or to a person who is 17 years of age and has successfully completed an approved Driver Education course and received your certificate of completion.  By law, you cannot drive to school with a Junior License (Class DJ).  JUNIORS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PARK ON SCHOOL CAMPUS.

You must download, print and complete the following SENIOR PARKING application document: (Bring completed forms to high school when you get your Senior Parking Permit)

Please note, once you receive your NYS Class D Driver's License, you can submit to Security your Senior Parking Application anytime during the school year.

Failure to secure a valid SENIOR PARKING TAG can result in loss of parking privileges.

SAFETY is the number one priority when operating a vehicle.  The following regulations will apply to all students operating motor vehicles on school grounds:

 

  1. Parking permit must hang from rearview mirror & be visible
  2. Park in the designated student parking lot only (back of High School)
  3. Park in designated spots only (do not make your own parking space)
  4. Obey the 10 MPH speed limit at all times on school property
  5. NO LOITERING in the parking areas
  6. Obey the directions of Security and School Personnel
  7. No student is allowed access to their vehicle during the school day unless permission is granted by a school administrator
  8. You must also drive in a safe and responsible manner on the neighboring streets
  9. You must arrive to class on time.Traffic is no excuse for lateness.
  10. You must follow the District/School Code of Conduct, arrive to school on time, avoid being absent and maintain good grades. Failure to do so can result in the loss of parking privileges.

 

Violation of any of the above will result in loss of driving privileges.  Please note that parents will be notified of any student driving violation.  Students who fail to comply with the school’s practices and procedures will have their parking privileges revoked.

 

Remember, parking on school grounds is a privilege not a right!
