Charity Week Success!
Charity Week 2025: A Wrap-Up from Student Congress
We are so proud to share that Seaholm's 9-day Charity Week campaign has come to a close, and the Maple community showed up in a big way.
Thanks to the generosity of our students, staff, and families, we raised a grand total of $17,416.18 for The Rainbow Connection Michigan, an organization dedicated to granting wishes for children across Michigan facing life-threatening illnesses. This year, our goal was to grant wishes for two local families, and because of you, we are able to do exactly that.
To every student who participated in an event, donated, shared the word, or contributed to our Amazon Wish List: thank you. This is what the Maple community looks like at its best.
Go Maples!

Spring Testing
Dear Seaholm Families:
Michigan testing in all high schools begins next month. These are NOT “opted-in” assessments. All parts of the MME must be taken to fulfill federal, state, and district requirements. Students who miss any testing will be scheduled for required make-up testing, inevitably resulting in missing class and important instructional time.
- For freshmen, the students will take the Digital PSAT 8/9.
- For sophomores, the students will take the Digital PSAT 10.
- For juniors, the students will complete three assessments: Digital SAT with Essay (Students must complete the essay portion of the test.), WIN Career Readiness Exam (digital), and the M-STEP tests (digital).
Students who participate in one of the College Board SAT Suite of Assessments on a school day will be asked to provide College Board with optional student information and/or to opt into the BigFuture School™ mobile application and the Connections program. Schools are responsible for notifying parents/guardians of the opportunity for them to opt-out students from the additional information, BigFuture School app, or the Connections program. Please complete the below form by April 1, 2026. On testing day, please remind your student to disregard this exam section.
https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/student-search-service/parent-opt-out
Thank you for your support!
Test Day Transportation and Bell Schedules
All students with approved College Board accommodations will be notified of their testing location via email from Carey Balow.
Altered Bus Schedule:
· All buses will run on their regular AM schedule for any student that is testing and needs transportation on 4/14 – 4/16. Additional routes will be added due to testing. See below:
4/14 – Two dismissal buses – Noon and regular PM schedule
4/15 & 4/16 – Additional late-start route for non-testers to get to school.
· OSTC - Buses for OSTC will run their normal routes for seniors. Juniors will not be attending OSTC as they will be testing. Seniors attending OSTC will attend classes upon their return to Seaholm.
-Groves/Seaholm Shuttle – The shuttle will be running on late start days
Other cafeteria details regarding lunch and breakfast being provided will be in next week’s enews.
Students MUST Bring:
· Their district-provided laptop is fully charged.
· Pencils
· Layered clothing (due to fluctuations in temperature)
· Cell phone to call for a ride home, if necessary. Phones will be turned off and collected during testing.
Students Should Not Bring:
· Apple Watches/Smartwatches
Tips for Student Success:
· Get a good night’s sleep and eat a good breakfast.
· Answer every question. Students are not penalized for incorrect answers.
· Narrow down your answer choices. Each option that is eliminated increases their chance of getting a correct answer.
