Complete the letter of recommendation packet by the end of Junior Year.
At the start of Senior Year, update the packet, especially your activities sections.
Review your packet with Mr. Signora before sending it out. By email as a PDF is great!
NOTE: Most college applications or scholarships only require two letters of recommendation. It is best to have a letter from your school counselor and the other from a teacher.
Decide which teacher (possibly even two) who believe knows you very well as a student and person to write this letter.
THEN, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO POLITELY ASK A FACULTY PERSON TO WRITE YOU A LETTER.
Remember, you MUST give 3-4 weeks prior notice for a deadline.
At the end of Senior Year, it is customary to thank your recommenders.
