Seniors & Parents: There will be a FAFSA Fill-Out Night on Tuesday, November 18th at 6:00 pm in the lunchroom. Students & parents who would like assistance getting their FAFSA filed are encouraged to attend. It is important that both the student and parent attend and bring along their school computer and their required personal & financial information (details posted in Google Classroom and shared through email this week). As a reminder, the FAFSA is the application needed to apply for any federal grants, loans, or work study to help pay for college or technical school. The FAFSA is used by financial aid offices and scholarship programs to determine eligibility for a number of opportunities to help fund post-secondary education, so ALL seniors are strongly urged to file the FAFSA if they plan to attend post-secondary. Contact Mrs. Yackley for more information!
On this Veteran's Day, the Elkton School District would like to thank all the men and women who have served our country - past and present.
Reminder that we will be hosting a Veteran's Day program today at 10:00am in the North Gym. All community members are welcome!
