Parent Letter of Recommendation
 
Parent/Guardian insight makes a tremendous difference in the quality of a finished letter of recommendation. We thank you in advance for taking the time to be a part of your senior's college application process. Your responses to the questions enclosed on the attached Parent/Guardian Brag Sheet will assist your student's counselor as we write a letter of recommendation on behalf of your student. 
 
We ask that you address your responses with new information that is not already used in the college application. Possible topics include the student's greatest strengths, most unique characteristics, significant family events, student's personal obstacles, etc. The information you provide will be kept confidential.
 
You may choose to submit your brag sheet with your student's senior packet by the required deadline posted above, or submit directly to your student's counselor. We are flexible in how we obtain your letter and are grateful for your support.
 
Thank you!
