PSAT/NMSQT
Any 10th and 11th grader that wants to take the PSAT/NMSQT will take the test in October 2025. Specific dates will be determined in September. Students can come in the second week of school, 9/2/25, to come sign up for the PSAT/NMSQT with Ms. Hansen in the counselor's office. Free practice material can be found online. If there are questions parents can email hanschar@d55.k12.id.us however, email will be checked until June 5, 2025 and then again on August 4, 2025.
ESPORTS
This year for Blackfoot Esports, we went to state for Super Smash Bros and Overwatch 2. The Smash team fought a good fight and placed 4th, whereas the Overwatch team settled in 7th. Either way, it was a good time to be at State in the Boise State esports arena in downtown Boise. There was a lot of cheering and support for our players.
Next year, there is potential to add a few games to the roster, like Marvel Rivals. Hopefully, Valorant will work for us next year since this year our computers decided to not work for us. If your student is interested in esports next year the games we play are Overwatch, Super Smash Bros, Fortnite, Valorant, Apex, and Rocket League. Every year, the high schools in Idaho grow their esports programs and State becomes bigger and bigger.
Spanish Class
Spanish 2nd year students were busy creating a city of their own in which they had to write, give and follow directions in Spanish. This activity allowed them to practice commands, prepositional phrases, locations and directional words. It also allowed them to work cooperatively.
