PSAT Next Week
The PSAT is next week! Students who have signed up will test as follows- 9th graders are on Tuesday, 10th on Wednesday, and 11th on Thursday. All students should have completed the Digital Readiness Check and made themselves familiar with Bluebook. Room assignments will be posted near the restrooms on all three floors in the B/C area. Students should report to their testing rooms at 7:10am on their test day with a charged chromebook and calculator (if they prefer that over desmos). We will follow a regular bell schedule.
