Seniors – Before you leave for SSP, be sure to communicate with your parents about your college applications. It is recommended that Seniors give parents their email and college portal logins and passwords, since they may not have phones with them on SSP. Parents may then check for communication from colleges while you are gone. Parents, if something is needed please call or email Laura Smith.
