Middle School


Many of you will begin the middle school process during this quarter.  Here are some tips to ensure that your application process runs smoothly.

  1. All requests for copies of report cards, TCAP scores, etc., should be submitted 2 business days in advance of when you need them.  Though it may seem like a simple copy request, please keep in mind that we have 70 students all with various needs.  We will do what we can to procure the necessary copies for you within this time frame.  
  2. Recommendation requests must be sent or faxed directly to the school from the school that is making the request.  Teachers cannot write recommendations without this paperwork.  Private schools will fax us a form that we fill out and fax back.  Optional schools do not require a recommendation.  Recommendation requests can take between 3-5 days to complete due to the amount of requests we receive.  No completed recommendations will be given to parents or students. We must fax them from the school fax line.
  3. This link includes dates and will provide you with information to apply for SCS Optional Schools:  http://www.scsk12.org/uf/optional_schools/files/2015/FAQ%202015-2016%20Jan%208thLR.pdf
  4. They will start passing out bar-coded applications at 6:30 a.m. that morning. The applications, along with ALL necessary documents, must be submitted by January 30.
  5. Attend open houses and schedule tours with prospective schools.  
As always, if you need help, we will do our best to assist you.
