SENIOR CLASS NEWS

NEW: LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP - The American Association of University Women (AAUW)
The AAUW Orinda-Moraga-Lafayette branch has announced their $2,000 Scholarship, awarded to one senior woman (those who identify as female) from each local high school - Acalanes, Campolindo and Miramonte. The deadline is Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Details about the scholarship, past recipients and application can be found on AAUW/OML’s website. Students should stop by the College & Career Center if they have questions.

NEW: COLLEGE ADMISSIONS REMINDERS

CHECK YOUR PORTALS: Each college you apply to will ask you to open a portal via email, please open and check your portals often. This is where you track all information regarding your application; decisions, additional information requests, and in some cases special scholarship opportunities. We ask that students avoid checking portals or discussing decisions during class time, and parents, kindly refrain from texting students with updates during school hours. This can add unnecessary stress to an already emotional time. 

WRITE YOUR THANK YOU NOTES TO TEACHERS FOR LORs: If you didn’t get to this over break, we have Thank You cards available in CCC if you would like to come by during lunch or 7th period to write a note of appreciation to the teacher(s) who took time to write you a letter of recommendation.

HAVE YOU BEEN WAITLISTED OR DEFERRED? Please check out the information here for guidance and schedule an appointment with College & Career Counselor if you have questions.

DO YOU NEED TO SEND MID-YEAR TRANSCRIPTS?
Check your portals! If colleges require mid-year transcripts (1st-semester Senior grades), DO NOT request another transcript through MaiaLearning and/or the Webstore. Grades will not be posted until the Friday you return from break. Your counselors will be reaching out with a process to request transcripts, if needed mid-January.

HAVE YOU UPDATED YOUR MAIALEARNING?
Please see the steps below to update your MaiaLearning with the most recent information; delete schools you are no longer applying to, select the program within the college you applied to, and record admissions status (i.e., accepted, waitlisted, deferred, denied). This data is critical for the accuracy of the MaiaLearning Analysis tabs by school (formerly Scattergrams in Naviance). 

  • Select College Applied to: Go to list of applied schools. For each school, locate the "College Applied To/Select" box along the top, click and from the dropdown menu, please select college/school within that College you applied to (i.e, College of Arts & Sciences, College of Business, College of Engineering, etc).
  • Delete any schools not applying to: Go to school, click 3-dots next to "request transcript” button, select "delete").
  • Record any updates: accept, deny, deferred, waitlist for each school: Go to School Applied to, locate "Application Decision" at the bottom of each college info box.
