This Week:
PSAT/SAT Test Day for JUNIORS ONLY | March 27, 2024
Due to a tech issue with College Board's software, only the JUNIOR students will take the SAT test on Wednesday, March 27th. All other students will have an asynchronous eLearning day.
Juniors On Test Day
The test will begin promptly at 9:30 AM and will conclude at 12 PM. If your student receives accommodations, they will conclude the test at 1:30 PM. Students are not allowed to bring bags, food, cell phones, or smart watches into the test room. These items must either be left at home or in the students' assigned locker. No talking is allowed during the test. If talking does occur, the student in question will forfeit the remainder of the test and will be sent home. Students must bring their own chromebooks, fully charged as they will be taking the SAT test on their device. No loaners or extra chargers will be provided.
Underclassmen and Seniors On Test Day
With regard to the Freshmen, Sophomore, and Senior classes, Wednesday, March 27 will serve as an asynchronous eLearning day. Teachers will provide students with instructions and assignments that must be completed for that day.
Test Make-Up Day (4/12/24)
Freshmen and Sophomores will take the PSAT test on Friday, April 12 and will follow the same schedule. Juniors and Seniors will have this day off.
