We are still scheduling Life After ARHS planning meetings. Regardless of your intended path, I want to meet with you to plan! Here’s a link to set a meeting! link
Recommendation Requests & Communication: Please note that you must list the schools with the proper deadlines in order for your teachers, counselors, and Ms. Garrity to have any idea of your deadlines. If you have a custom deadline like a BFA program, contact Ms. Garrity to make the adjustment. Please reach out to your teachers at a minimum TWO WEEKS prior to your first deadline.

Transcripts: We are only able to send your transcripts if you submit your LIME GREEN FORM. Ms Garrity actually emailed hard copies of the form to students who have not submitted their forms.

If you have done all of the above, it is likely that the materials are at the colleges and haven’t yet been downloaded. Don’t panic. Please log into Naviance and check to see if your materials have been submitted. You are able to see if the admissions office has downloaded your materials as well. If your materials have been SUBMITTED and not downloaded, you can call the admissions office (noting you may have to leave a message), and let them know your high submitted materials via eDocs. If your materials have been SUBMITTED and DELIVERED you can give the admissions office the unique identifying code listed.
