Additional Lyman Hall informartion

If you are applying to Lyman Hall, please read!!!!


 A new part of the application process is that 5% of the application score is based on an in-person discussion/ conversation.  There are multiple ways for students to get credit for this.  One is that they sign a sheet that says they attended the presentation (they can also come to our Open House in December or schedule an individual tour/ appointment).


Attending the presentation on November 3rd here at JMMS can count as that presentation!!

Lyman Hall Presentation for 8th graders

An admissions representative from Lyman Hall Vocational Agricultural High School in Wallingford will be here at JMMS. They will do a presentation for students on Thursday November 3rd at 12:45.

Sign ups will be in Guidance and will start next Monday.   Sign ups will also be announced during the morning announcements.  Only students who sign up will be allowed to participate.

Platt Tech/Eli Whitney Application Deadline!

The due date for Application to be received at Platt Tech and Eli Whitney High school is December 19, 2016.

An application's last stop is to me in Guidance.  I will fill out the counselor section, make a copy and send the original into Platt or Eli Whitney.

Math and English assessments must also be taken this year before the admissions deadline.  This is a new admissions process this year.  The math and English assessments will also be used along with grades when looking at academics.

You must register for the tests online at either the Platt or Eli Websites.  Students can take the test at any tech school, even if its not the one they are applying for.
