TEACHER REFERRAL PROCESS FOR STUDENTS OF CONCERN

Questions have been coming up about the student referral process that we reviewed at our last faculty meeting.    Here is a link to that process, Teacher Referral Process for Students of Concern.  Please see the counselors if you should have any further questions. We welcome discussions on students anytime, our door is always open!

UNIVERSITY VISITS

College Visits: A key part of the college decision-making process is finding a good fit. A key part in the admission process is demonstrating fit and interest. The university representatives that visit SSIS are often reading our students’ applications and making admission recommendations. Therefore, it is important for students to participate in university visits. Please encourage students to attend information sessions, which occur in the HS library unless otherwise indicated.
