PSAT/NMSQT

All 10th, and registered 9th and 11th grade students will take the PSAT on October 25th from 7:10 - 11:30 AM. Students need to arrive on time and there will be no check-outs during this time. Bring a non-mechanical pencil and a scientific or graphing calculator if you have one.


The PSAT is an excellent primer for the SAT, and even the ACT, but it's more than just a trial run. PSAT scores are used to identify National Merit Scholars and award merit scholarships.

If you're planning to take the PSAT, please make sure to check the PSAT Bell Schedule provided below.

Creating and Maintaining a Safe Environment at SKG

At Seckinger, we have vestibules located at the front and back entry of our building. Our vestibules are double glass door entries with bullet-resistant glass film.

  1. When arriving at the school, ring the doorbell and state your reason for being here.
  2. You will then be buzzed through the first set of doors and into the vestibule.
  3. All visitors not employed by GCPS will need to then proceed with the Raptor - a program that screens visitors against the National Sex Offenders Registry.
  4. Visitors are required to insert their driver's license/state identification into the card reader located on a table inside the vestibule.
  5. Once our staff receives your clearance from Raptor, you will then be buzzed into the second set of doors where you will be able to receive either your visitor's badge or check-out your student (attendance office - back of the building).
Vestibules in Schools

Next Digital Learning Day (DLD) - Friday, November 3
