On Friday, March 27, all freshmen & sophomores at Musselman High School are required to take the PSAT (Preliminary SAT Test). This assessment is an important part of preparing our students for life after high school.

Here’s why it matters:

• College and Career Readiness: The PSAT helps students see where they stand academically and what they need to strengthen before graduation.

• Scholarship Opportunities

• SAT Preparation: The PSAT is the best practice for the SAT, which is widely used in college admissions and for awarding scholarships.

• Personalized Support: Results connect directly to free study tools through College Board and Khan Academy.

  
  

Testing room assignments will be posted around the school and on Schoology prior to the test day. Please encourage your student to check these lists so they know exactly where to report.

Regardless of your student’s post-secondary plans—whether they plan to attend college, pursue a trade, join the military, or enter the workforce—the PSAT is an opportunity to demonstrate focus, determination, and pride in their work. This is especially true for our CTE students, who benefit from strong test results as they showcase their academic abilities alongside their technical skills. Performing well reflects positively on them, their program, and our school.

To help your child do their best, please make sure they get a good night’s sleep, eat breakfast, and arrive on time to school. Participation is expected of all juniors, and we are excited to see them take advantage of this opportunity.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we are helping our students put their Roots Downand Rise Up toward their future success.

Applications are now being accepted for The American Legion Mountaineer Boys State program, a prestigious program for 11th grade males to learn more about careers, government, and citizenship. Interested 11th grade male students should stop by the Counseling Office for more information. To apply, visit their program online at wvboysstate.org

Roots Down. Rise Up. 🍎

To ensure we continue providing positive learning environments and limitless opportunities for our students, we are participating in the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey for parents/caregivers, students in grades 3–12, and staff.

These surveys are conducted online and provide critical information about the learning/teaching environment, the health and well-being of students and staff, and support for parents.

Please contact us with any questions. Your opinions matter!

• Link to Access the Parent/Caregiver Survey.
  

Login to the Survey


1. Select the “District” where the school is located. (Berkeley County)
2. Select the “School” where the child attends school (Musselman High School)
   (Selecting “Other” may invalidate a submitted response)

Additionally, if you do not want your child to participate in the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey for Students, please click the link below and print or email the form to your student's teacher. Students will be taking the survey in computer lab class.

Attention 11th Graders: The West Virginia Scholar Program is now accepting applications. This scholarship, awarded by MetroNews, awards a full scholarship to WV Wesleyan which includes four-years of tuition, fees, room and board to one 11th grade student in West Virginia. This scholarship is valued at $160,000.

The deadline to apply is May 3 and is only open to current 11th grade students. The application can be completed online at wvscholar.com .

If your student has turned 16 and will be a senior next year, please remember to submit documentation of their final MCV4 (Meningococcal) immunization. This immunization is required for students to return to school as seniors in August. Documentation may be faxed, emailed, or delivered directly to the front office or school nurse.

Tutoring will be offered for Math and SAT/ACT Prep only this school year. If students require tutoring for other subjects, this can be requested through the Counseling Office and will be accommodated if at all possible. All tutoring will occur from 2:45-3:45 PM in the designated classroom and no sign-up is required - students just show up. TutorWV is also an online tutoring resource that is free for students in WV to use (link on the flyer).

Keeping contact and emergency information current is vital for your student’s safety and well-being. As part of the Annual Forms & Information Updates, families are required to review and update all emergency contacts, phone numbers, and addresses.

This ensures that the school can quickly reach parents or guardians in case of an emergency or urgent situation. Accurate information helps staff respond effectively and provides peace of mind knowing your child is supported at all times.

The primary and secondary parent/caregiver listed on the Annual Forms & Information Updates are automatically signed up to receive NTouch alerts for attendance and important updates from the district and your student's school.

All school meals are free again this year thanks to our Board of Education. Breakfast and Lunch Menus can be viewed on Nutrislice. It is recommended that you download this app on your phones so that you have easy access.
