Senior Information

Blue Packet

Some college applications require a recommendation letter or comments from your counselor.  In that event, you must provide your counselor with a resume and a completed “Blue Packet”. 

Turning in a “Blue Packet” will not automatically result in a letter being written.  You must also fill out a “yellow sheet” indicating the college(s) for which you need the letter(s) and their applicable deadline(s).  Letters will not be written for any college application that does not require a recommendation, unless there are special circumstances.

Thank you for thoroughly completing this packet and giving the counselor three weeks notice (15 school days).  The more information you and your parents provide in your “Blue Packet”, the better.
