We know time is precious, so we created two resources that should make completing the FAFSA® faster and easier. Our FAFSA ® quick start sheet ( https://5il.co/31put) can help students and parents prepare so that their FAFSA® experience is a smooth one.
• A timeline of when to file the FAFSA ®
• Guidance on getting the needed FSA ID before filing the FAFSA ®
• Documents needed, and no longer needed (there were changes last year-this isn't your father's FAFSA ®!)
• In addition, the FAFSA ® Guide by Sallie walks you through all the FAFSA® questions to help users answer correctly so that they can maximize their financial aid for school.
Some aid is first come, first served, so it's best to complete the FAFSA® as soon as possible. However, if you aren't ready for these resources just yet, go ahead and open each resource, hit the ⭐ next to the web address on your browser, and come back to it when you're ready. Sallie Mae also has a ton of resources for families, check out their financial aid page here: https://www.salliemae.com/college-planning/financial-aid/.

California Healthy Kids Survey: "Dear Parent or Guardian: We want your child to have the best school environment possible. One way of doing that is to anonymously survey our students and get their honest opinion on what it is like to be in their shoes. If your child is in 9 th or 11 th grade, they are being asked to participate in the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), developed and sponsored by the California Department of Education (CDE). This very important anonymous survey will help our district promote better health and well-being and improve your child's school learning environment with programs such as Mental Health Wellness Centers, Friday Night Live programs, Mentoring, and Tobacco Use Prevention Education. Survey Content: The survey gathers information on your child's connectedness to their school and potential barriers to learning. The survey also gathers information related to your child's health such as physical activity, nutritional habits, alcohol, vaping/tobacco and other drug use, risk of depression and suicide, and protected class identifiers: sexual orientation and gender identity. The results from this survey are compiled into district- and county-level CHKS Reports. To view a copy of your district's report, go to https://calschls.org/reports-data/search-lea-reports/ (Outside Source) and type in the district name or Bret Harte Union High School District. It is Voluntary. When you give your student permission to participate, they can skip any question they do not want to answer. The rest of the survey is still valid. They may also stop taking the survey at any time and for any reason. It is Anonymous. The surveys are administered electronically at school and are completely anonymous- no names are recorded or attached to the survey or data. Any questions with less than 10 respondents are discarded. Please remind your child that this is their voice and there is no way to single out their answers.The survey will be administered the week of December 2, 2024. If you have any questions about this survey, call the Calaveras County Office of Education at 209 736-6094. If you do not want your child to participate, please contact: Sara Labuga, Student Support Counselor, slabuga@bhuhsd.net, 209 736-8391." - Bret Harte Counseling + Wellness
