STUDENTS: Most students do not realize they may have had federal and state income taxes taken out of their paychecks and that they can get that money back by filing a tax return. The Maine West Accounting Club has several students who are IRS certified tax assistants who can meet virtually or in-person to help students file their tax returns and get money back from the government. The federal deadline was extended to May 17, but the state deadline is still April 15, which is only a few weeks away. Please direct students to the Accounting Club website or Tax Assistance Program Flyer for more information and to sign up for help.
STUDENTS: Pass/Fail Petitions are due today. Please follow this link to the Google Form and submit one Form per class you wish to take Pass/Fail. This link is also posted on the MW website and the Student Services Website under “Academic Services.” Only the classes that are not required for graduation and that are not accelerated or AP can be taken Pass/Fail. Read the Instructions in the Form before completing it.
