Please email your coach and ask them to complete the Coach’s Questionnaire for you. All of the current coaches have a digital form that they can complete, so you do not need to send them one. However, YOU MUST ASK THEM TO COMPLETE IT FOR YOU! If you played on both JV and Varsity teams of the sport then you only need to give the questionnaire to the Varsity Coach. If the Coach is no longer available, please ask an assistant coach you had on that team to complete the form. Coaches will return these forms directly to Mr. Woshner. These must be turned in by Wednesday, April 8th at 2:30, so make your requests to coaches in plenty of time for them to complete them.
-
Make a photocopy of your acceptance letter to a 2 or 4 year school to be turned in with your essay. Please email a scanned copy or picture of the letter to Mrs. Grove at groves@fcpsk12.net. She will email you a confirmation that she received it. This is due by 2:30 on Wednesday, April 8th.
