accountability, critical thinking, and

much more. We understand that

you are young-kids and teenagers,

Goal for 2011-2012 year:

My goal for the year of 2011-2012

is to get accepted in a close to

home University that has a wonder-

ful Music Business/Management

program!!!

Thought about Taylor:

I think Patrick Taylor has prepared

me for college in ways that no

other school could have.

Helpful tip for success at Tay-

lor:

In order to achieve success at

Taylor DON’T fall behind. Try not

to miss too many days. Missing a

day at Taylor is like missing an

entire week of school.

be responsible in all you do.

So students, ask yourselves...am I

being a responsible Taylor student?

Are there any areas where I need

to improve, and what steps can I

take to be more responsible?

I along with your teachers know

you are great, we look forward to

seeing positive improvements!

Make all requests for recom-mendation letters 2 weeks in advance. Also, even though you apply for admission to a college/university and they contact your teacher or counselor for information, you need to also speak to the individual directly and make a

request for letters, etc…

Be sure to provide copies of all scholarship and college accep-tance letters to the counselor. This information is needed to advertise your suc-cess/accomplishment and for our records. Even if you do not accept the scholarship or attend the university, please be sure to provide a copy of all acceptance

letters to the counselor’s office.

Jefferson’ Dollar’s for Scholars applications are due Jan. 12th There is a page the school counselor must also complete for each application– DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MIN-UTE TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLI-CATION. Although Jefferson Dollar’s for Scholars application is due on Jan. 12th– please submit all materials to Mrs. Durant by Jan. 9th so that I will have time to complete the

counselor’s section.
