Dear Stratford Senior Parents:
We are so thankful to have our classrooms full (COVID style of course!), and our seniors enjoying their senior year as normally as possible. We are so proud of this group of young adults!! They are proving themselves to be quite disciplined and adaptable as they navigate a "new normal" with school and college admissions. Way to go class of 2021! Here are a few College Office updates on upcoming events:
1. College acceptances are continuing to roll in – these kids are on top of things! Students applying to UGA need to remember that the early action deadline is October 15, but we strongly encourage students to have their applications completed by October 1 so our office has plenty of time to submit all required supporting documents.
2. We are finding our virtual college visits to be very informative, and we will continue to host online college visits throughout the fall. Please feel free to join our meetings via the zoom links we send each week in REMIND. We love it when parents join us! Scheduled college visits and their zoom links can also be found on the College Office page in your Stratford portal.
3. There will be an ACT/SAT Prep Course offered this coming weekend in preparation for the School Day ACT and SAT. Details are as follows:
ACT/SAT Prep Course
Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27

4. Mercer will be hosting a Financial Aid Workshop on Monday, October 6 p.m. at Stratford. Parents are invited to attend in-person or virtually. We ask that you please RSVP for this meeting so we can make appropriate arrangements to socially distance everyone who attends in-person. This workshop will provide families with valuable information about the FAFSA, applying for HOPE and Zell Miller, and other financial aid options. Details are as follows:
