See Mrs. Swick if you want to drop a class and to get the form! Remember, dropping or failing a class will result in you being placed on probation the next semester in the dual credit program. You cannot drop or fail any additional courses next semester or you will be removed from the program.

, then you need to register today!
ApplyTexas is already open- so get started applying to colleges!!! There is a direct link under “Educational Websites” on my page!!!
Remember- after you submit your application (and pay your application fee-if applicable), you need to have Mrs. Stone send your high school transcript to the colleges you applied. You will also need to request your Navarro transcript to be sent as well if you have taken any dual credit courses. This can be done by requesting it at the Mexia campus or by fax with a form I have in the bin.
Grosbeck High School will give the ACT here on all testing dates except the September and June dates.
There is a direct link to register for ACT or SAT tests under the “Educational Websites” section. If you receive free or reduced lunches, then you are eligible for a fee-waiver to use on the ACT and SAT. See me if you are eligible.
To take the SAT, you will need to register to take it at a testing site in Waco. You should be narrowing down your college choices!!! You have 2 college days that you may use during your senior year. There is a form you will need to take with you when you go to have signed, and then you will return the form to me so that your absence is coded as a “College Day” and won’t count as an absence for final exam exemptions!
I will meet with your class after school starts to go over more information. I will post my handouts and important information on this website as well!!!
If you need anything, come see me!
Make the most out of your last year of high school; make wise choices; and enjoy every minute...May 2017 will be here before you know it!
