Schools have received information that the FAFSA's you have been filing, will now not get to the colleges until mid-March. (There was an issue at the federal level with calculations and that is causing the delay as they fix it).
This will likely push back when the colleges are able to send you the financial aid packages. Financial aid folks and colleges are not at fault with this. They have no control in the matter and they are just waiting patiently for the problems to be fixed. In the mean time, just know this is a nationwide issue at the moment and please be patient with your colleges. They are doing the best they can.
If you have not yet completed your FAFSA and intend to go to college in the fall, please do not wait and complete it ASAP. Thanks!
Kindergarten Registration will be Thursday, February 8 at 6:00pm in the School Cafeteria. Please fill out the required forms in Final Forms before that evening. The link can be found below. If you have other children in school you can log in and select the big box at the top to change to next school year. If you do not have any other children in school you will need to create your account and then log in to add a student. If you have complications with this, we can assist you the evening of February 8th. Please bring a copy of your child's birth certificate (not the hospital issued certificate) and a copy of their immunization record. Mr. Pester will have a few things to go over that evening, but it should not take very long. Kindergarten screening will be Wednesday, April 24th.
