Taking care of your mental health is important to your overall well being. Below are links that will take you to calming apps and grounding techniques, along with a list of outside counseling resources you can utilize.
We currently have one full time social worker available during the school day; if you need to speak to someone please stop down to Student Support. You can also email your counselor or call 652-300 x 7876 to connect. Additional resources are available via administrators in the main office by calling 652-300 x 7001.
Confused about FAFSA? Click on the link below for a 30-minute instructional video that provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the 2024-2025 FAFSA application process for senior students and their families.
Why apply for FAFSA? FAFSA determines your eligibility for Federal Student Aid, calculates your Student Aid Index (SAI), and sends your information to your colleges for additional grants and scholarships.
The Student Support Services calendar is available on the link below.
Test dates and deadlines for the 2024-2025 College Board exams (SAT/PSAT) and the ACT exam can be found in the link below.
Tests that will be administered at Iroquois High School are noted with an asterisk and bold print. PLEASE NOTE: Beginning in March 2024, the SAT Suite of Assessments began digital administration. The ACT will remain in the traditional pencil & paper/Scantron answer sheet form, or can be administered digitally, depending on which style the student chooses at registration. If you have any questions, please contact the Student Support Services office at 716-652-3000 x 7876.
Any student requiring working papers (working certificate) for employment can click this link: Application for Working Papers or stop by the Student Support Services office when school is in session to obtain the application.
The application (two [2] pages), titled "Application for Working Certificate Form AT-17 and Physical Fitness Certification Form AT-16" will be located at the upper right-hand corner of the page. Print these forms and fill out Parts I and II on the first page of the AT-17 form and top of AT-16 form (name, address, date of birth). Verification of a student's recent physical will be confirmed with our school's health office during the school year; during summer or school breaks you must provide a copy of your physical or have your physician fill out the section titled "Instructions to Physician" on the AT-16 form, or provide a script from your physician's office stating: Patient was examined on (exact date physical was given) and is cleared for working papers (for home-schooled or private school students, verification should be done by their physician or their school nurse).
Once these sections are filled out, please email or call Mrs. Maria Olsen at 652-3000 x 7876 to set an appointment to drop off the application. If school is in session, the student can drop this off themselves at any point during the school day. Please note that while anyone can drop off a completed application, the student must come into the office to sign the completed card in person. The student's signature must be witnessed per NYSED guidelines.
NOTE: Homeschooled or private school students that live in the district should also provide proof of birth such as a passport, birth certificate or valid driver's license along with the AT-17 Application for Employment Certificate, AT-16 Physical Fitness Certification and proof of a recent physical or the section titled "Instructions to Physician" filled out by doctor's office.
*It should be noted that a student is required by NYSED to have a physical completed within one year of applying for a working paper certificate or one cannot be issued.
Please allow 1-2 working days to process. During school break or summer break, please allow up to 3 days to process.
The employer will keep this card on file during your employment. If you leave your job, you should ask the employer to return your card. If it is not returned, please contact Mrs. Olsen via email or phone number listed above to request a duplicate copy.
Senior Parents: The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has created a new requirement, called the FAFSA Completion Initiative, that affects area school districts, and begins with the graduating Class of 2025. In order that our high school comply with this new requirement, senior households will soon receive a letter that will help us compile data. This letter will have a tear off section that should be completed and returned to the Student Support Services office by May 23, 2025, and will ask that you indicate if you have or have not yet completed the FAFSA application. This form does not ask for that any financial information be disclosed. For more information about this initiative, please go to https://www.nysed.gov/postsecondary-services/financial-aid-and-tuition-assistance-program-tap.
