Sanusi, Counselor
Welcome
back to our 2007-2008 school year!
Welcome
to a new school year. Hope you had an enjoyable summer!!! We are
off to a great start!!!! We know that students and parents are as
excited as we are about all the positive educational activities
happening at The Center School. Please review the information below
with your student and mark your calendars for these important dates!!!
SENIOR INFORMATION
Students are responsible for managing the completion of their college
applications and submitting their materials in a timely manner.
The Center School will be responsible for processing student requests
for official transcripts, filling out secondary school reports,
and writing counselor/teacher recommendations.
Parents should also help their student to finish any physical education
and community service hours so that seniors are not waiting until
the last minute to complete these requirements.
Washington State History is a state requirement for graduation.
Most students take this class in 7th or 8th grade at their middle
school. Seniors that have not taken Washington State History will
need to see Mr. Bell, Social Studies Teacher at TCS to complete
this requirement. Seniors were told last year if they were missing
this requirement they needed to see Mr. Bell. If your student took
Washington State History but we don't have a record of the class,
you will need to contact your middle school and obtain a letter
indicating completion.
