October 11th In-school SAT/PSAT/NMSQT
October 11th In-school SAT/PSAT/NMSQT

On October 11th, there will be PSAT/NMSQT testing for students. This year's test will be conducted online, so students must bring their laptops fully charged and their chargers.  The school will NOT have loaner chargers for students to use. It is important to arrive on campus by 8:30 a.m. Students can bring their calculator, but it must be an approved College Board calculator. Additionally, students can bring a snack to eat during their break. NOTE:  please make sure you bring your laptop charger and that your laptop is fully charged.  The school will NOT have any extra chargers available.

For seniors, a CPR class will be held in the performance hall along with college workshops. Only seniors who have not previously taken the SAT will be required to take the test (on paper). The school has already contacted those seniors who fall into this category. 

Please have your kiddos check their school email and Canvas for their test location.
