SENIORS, PLAN AHEAD!
Your counselor needs at least 21 working days (not counting weekends and holidays) advanced notice to write a Recommendation Letter! Pick up a Personal Data Sheet and Counselor Checklist in the Counselors' Office, or print one off (tab to the right under College Applications and Other Information ). This is your first step in obtaining a letter of recommendation.
All seniors applying for college should be aware of these important dates:
- December 1st deadline for applications and letters of recommendation is Thursday, October 25th.
- January 1st deadlines for applications and letters of recommendation are Thursday, November 11th.
Please notify the Counselor's Office of all scholarships received by sending us a copy of the award letter. This information is needed whether the scholarship is accepted or not.
In addition to the scholarship bulletin, please check individual college websites for school-specific scholarships. Check back often on this website and with colleges. The University of Texas and Texas A&M have early deadlines for their freshman scholarships, so check their websites!

Child Find
* What is Child Find? - The process by which districts and public charter schools identify and locate children needing evaluation. All children birth-21 with disabilities or suspected of having a disability, regardless of the severity, and who are in need of special education and related services, must be identified, located, and evaluated.
* Who can be part of Child Find? - Any child age birth-21 with a disability or suspected of having a disability. Anyone concerned about a child can contact their home campus for additional information and next steps. Districts are responsible for finding those who are parentally-placed in private schools, children who are homeschooled, and children who are homeless.
* Disabilities & Services - If a student qualifies for district special education services, these services are provided at no cost. Children are evaluated to determine the presence of one or more of the following disabilities: Physical Disability, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, Visual Impairment, Deaf-Blindness, Intellectual Disability, Emotional Disturbance, Speech and/or Language, Autism, Other Health Impairment.
