DASA

Williamson Central School District is committed to providing students a safe learning environment that respects the dignity of all.

In July 2012, the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) will ensure each school in New York State has a plan to both prevent and respond to harassment/bullying. Williamson Central Schools are currently reviewing and updating school protocols and response systems to ensure a safe environment for all students, staff, parents and community members where students are ready to learn.

We recognize that despite our best efforts, students and parents may need additional assistance to responds bullying. To ensure a quick response to parent and student concerns, the district has appointed DASA coordinators in each building. If you wish to anonymously report bullying, please call (315) 589-9661.

Scholarships

There are several things students can do to increase their chances of securing funds for college.

1. Create a student profile in Dollars for Scholars. DFS is for students who plan to pursue college (2-year or 4-year), trade school or the military. DFS matches students to local and national scholarships. Seniors should complete their profile in the fall and may be matched to scholarships beginning December 1. At that time, students will be asked to submit additional documents. Students can start their profile in ninth grade. Click the link below for more information.

2. Seniors should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in the fall of their senior year. It can be completed before they have submitted their college application(s) as the college list on the FAFSA can be edited. Some colleges have a FAFSA priority deadline date so be familiar with that date. Filing late could negatively impact your aid package. The FAFSA is the first step in determining what aid (grants and loans) you might be eligible for. If you have questions about FAFSA, please call either the college's Financial Aid Office or 1-800-FED-AID. Students should also complete NYS Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) if they will be attending a college in NYS. You will be linked to this site from the FAFSA application.

3. Attend WHS/Marion's Financial Aid Night in the fall. The program location alternates between WHS and Marion High School.

4. Some colleges want families to complete the CSS Profile. It asks for more detailed information about your family's financial situation. Go to www.collegeboard.com to get a listing of what colleges require the CSS Profile.

5. Williamson High School shares all scholarship information through Xello. Some scholarships will be highlighted on ParentSquare as they come up.

6. Some colleges automatically consider students for scholarships. At other colleges, you may be required to do the research yourself. With that said, students are encouraged to call their college's financial aid office to see if they have scholarships not automatically considered for, and apply if applicable.
