Several students have already approached me (as well as Bert and MM, I'm sure) about writing those ubiquitous (and no...that's NOT a swear word!!) high school recommendations! While I'm certain that Miss Jeanette has provided all 8th grade families with guidelines on this process, I want to remind you all to do several things that will make the experience a happier and easier one for all of us:
• fill out EVERY POSSIBLE PORTION of the recommendation that you can...
your full address and information, the teacher's name, the name of the
school...etc. (Just having to write our names and "Seattle Girls' School"
on each recommendation can be taxing...once you do it 32 times or more!)
• also note that most applications have a space for the student's name at
the top of each page...please fill that out as well!!
• Be sure to include a fully addressed and stamped envelope for each school
you wish to apply to...we typically do not return recommendations to
students/families for mailing.
• Give your chosen teacher(s) adequate time in which to complete the
recommendation(s). - two weeks at the very least!
Last year I completed 79 recommendations...so bring 'em on!!
