A gentle reminder that if you are planning to apply for admission to boarding school for the 2018-2019 school year, it is very important that parents meet with their child’s counselor in person. Please schedule an appointment to meet with your child’s counselor as soon as possible, if you have not already done so.
It is important that you start with the counselor, rather than directly approaching teachers.
Also, please note, in order to allow teachers time to provide a thorough, quality reference for your child, we ask that you allow a 4 week turn around time from the time the reference request is received until the reference is completed. Students who are applying to schools with January application deadlines should have submitted reference requests already. If you are starting this process, please submit reference requests by November 22nd, at the latest.
All reference requests need to go through your child’s counselor. This will enable us to ensure that references and other documentation is submitted to the receiving institution.
Thank you for working in partnership with your child’s counselor to ensure a smooth transition to boarding school.
