Blazer Bulletin for Nov 27 - Dec 1

Upcoming Job Fair - December 12th

It’s getting colder, and students must dress accordingly to protect themselves from the elements. Due to drills, planned and unplanned, students may be required to move outdoors for a period of time and should have appropriate clothing available for such instances. Please be mindful of this as you send your students to school.

FISD has expanded parent involvement by providing parents the option to opt their students out of books they would not like their child to check out. Learn more.

All FISD students classified as 11th grade are automatically registered to take the official SAT during the school day on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. There is no exam fee and students do NOT register for this exam through the College Board website. Students will receive exam details via email closer to the exam date. There is no make-up date for this exam.

How to Prepare:

SAT Digital Prep

Free SAT Customized Practice

The College Board released the spring 2024 testing schedule in late June 2023. The dates conflict with the last two days of school and two graduation ceremonies. Late testing dates are available if students cannot test during the first two full weeks of May.

Considerations

• Graduating seniors will have the option to register for the late exam at Lebanon Trail (no additional charge)

• Late Testing Circumstances

• Building and space availability for original and late exam times

If you have any questions or concerns about any of these topics, please contact our Campus Testing Facilitator, Lauren Phillips, at phillipsl@friscoisd.org.
