The College Board sponsored PSAT 8/9 test will be administered on Thursday, March 2nd. The exam will be given to any 9th grade student who registers for it. We had 85 9th graders register for the exam earlier in the fall. The test is not required, but is highly recommended for any student who plans to attend college. The PSAT gives 9th grade students the first opportunity to take a college entrance exam. The assessment gives students a baseline measurement of individual college and career readiness.

The test will begin at the beginning of 1st period and finish by the end of 4th period. Students will not be marked absent from class and will be allowed to make up all missed class work. If you are interested in having your child take this test, please send $15 with him or her no later than Tuesday, February 28th. Your student may turn in his or her money to his or her respective English teacher.
