Salpointe Weekly Peek - January 12, 2024
Happy Friday, Lancers!
Heavenly Father, as the new year gets under way, may whatever I resolve to do be inspired by Your Holy Spirit. Jesus came to make all things new. I give You thanks for all He taught through His love and word if we but hear it. Amen. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us.

College Counseling Updates for Seniors
Seniors are relieved to be finishing up their applications to colleges and now awaiting decisions. It is crucial that your Scoir account is up to date so Mrs. McCall can send transcripts and letters of recommendation on your behalf. When you've been admitted, denied or deferred from a college, update that information in Scoir as well. Reach out to Mrs. McCall if you have any questions.
The 2024–25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is available at StudentAid.gov. There may be pauses for site maintenance and updates.
