Notes from Ms. Amundson
The Sanborn Central and Woonsocket FAFSA Night 2024 has officially been scheduled for Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at 6:00 PM at the Woonsocket school in Charley Larson's classroom. We have been alternating locations every year, and this year it is Woonsocket's turn to host the event.

The newest addition this year is the presentation will be offered via Zoom as well! Our Zoom speaker is from Mapping Your Future, and she will be relaying all the important information you need to know about completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If your child is attending college next fall (2024), I highly recommend completing the FAFSA, which is the application to potentially receive grants (free government money), subsidized loans (do not accrue interest while in school), and unsubsidized loans (interest accrues while in school), that your student can accept or deny, but will ultimately help your child pay for college.

I have been told that there are several changes happening with the FAFSA this year, so I highly recommend that you attend this presentation to learn more about the FAFSA in general, as well as the new changes. 

Before you attend the presentation, I highly suggest that you complete an FSA ID. I emailed all senior parents a document that will help you complete the steps to creating an FSA ID, which has to be done before you fill out the FAFSA. If you have created an FSA ID for yourself to help your older children complete the FAFSA in the past, you will use that same FSA ID to sign all of your children's FAFSA forms. Additionally, your senior child will create their own unique FSA ID. You both will need an FSA ID to complete the FAFSA.

Here is the link to access the FAFSA Event via Zoom, if you would like to watch online from home instead of coming in-person to Woonsocket:

8^th Grade Career Fair

On Thursday, January 18^th Ms. Amundson and Mrs. Olson-VanWinkle will be taking the 8^th grade class to the Career Fair in Wagner at the Armory. We will be leaving right away at the beginning of the school day (8:15 AM) and will be back by the end of the school day. We will be eating lunch at Subway in Parkston on our way back home, so please ensure that your child has $15 to cover the cost of their lunch. Each student will be able to pick and choose their own meal that day. Please reach out to Ms. Amundson with any questions or concerns.
