Letters of Recommendation & Scholarships
Guidelines
If you want me to write a letter of recommendation, you must first do the following:
1. Meet all deadlines – nothing last minute
2. Give me all the paperwork and time I need to write the letter (no 'need it today' letters)
3. Be clear as to what school you are applying (or scholarship) along with due dates to be submitted by
4. A resume with academic and extracurricular activities along with any other achievements
5. Also, please answer the following questions:
6. If behavioral or discipline problems occur during your Junior or Senior year I will not write the letter. I also will not write the letter if you have plagiarism or cheating infractions in your record. I will check your discipline record and if I find anything of concern that you did not disclose to me I will not write the letter.

- Why have you asked me, instead of another teacher, to write your letters of recommendation?
- What contributions did you make to my class that set you apart from your peers?
- What character and academic strengths do you think you possess?
- In what areas would you like to see yourself improve?
