Practice PSAT/SAT Testing
Hello Thompson Valley Eagle Families,
On Monday, March 2, we will operate on a modified schedule to support PSAT/SAT practice testing for students in grades 9–11, with intervention opportunities for 12th graders. All 9–11 students will report to Testing Rooms for attendance; assigned testing locations will be posted outside the counseling office.
This practice assessment helps students feel prepared and confident for the official PSAT/SAT on Wednesday, April 15.
At school, students are supported through ongoing preparation across many classes, along with guidance and resources throughout the test preparation process. Your family has a great impact on your student outcomes by supporting them at home. Encouraging consistent routines, promoting rest and nutrition, and offering reassurance—simple supports that make a big difference.
Important reminders for March 2:
Students must bring a fully charged TSD Chromebook and charger -personal devices are not allowed for state testing.
Students report to their assigned testing room by 8:30 a.m.
Regular attendance procedures will be followed.
The March 2 schedule is included below.
If you have questions about schedules, preparation, or opt-outs, please reach out by email or phone—we’re here to support you and your student. Thank you for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Lanter
Assistant Principal / Assessment Director

Where Does My Water Go?
While some pollutants are removed during wastewater treatment, rain and snowmelt can wash oil, fertilizers, pet waste, and trash into storm drains. This untreated water flows directly into local streams, harming aquatic life. Keep it clean — only rain down the drain!

Thompson Valley Theatre Company presents "Mary Poppins". Shows will be March 5, 6 & 7 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $10 for students and staff and $15 for general admission. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at http://tvtc.ludus.com/
