From College Board:
SAT® registration is now open for fall 2026. This year, it will be more convenient to take the SAT on your schedule, with dates available every month through the end of the year, beginning in August, and the ability to join the Waitlist if the date or test center you prefer is already filled.
Most juniors take their first SAT in the spring, and many take it again in the fall of their senior yearif they would like to try and improve their score. The SAT can help you keep your college options open, demonstrate your unique strengths, and even qualify for scholarships. And with 100% free practice resources, now including enhanced tailored practice based on your prior test scores and free small-group tutoring, you’ll have everything you need to get prepared.
The purpose of the SAC is to provide accountability in an advisory capacity by informing, encouraging, and providing opportunities for parent and community stakeholders to be involved in the planning and evaluation of the school’s instructional program and quality improvement processes. The SAC makes recommendations concerning the school’s budget, performance/improvement plan, and meets at least quarterly to discuss implementation of the school’s plan and other progress pertinent to the school’s accreditation contract with the Board of Education. Final decision-making authority rests with the principal or other person or group receiving the recommendation from the SAC (e.g., the Superintendent, District Accountability Committee (“DAC”), or Board of Education).
Voting members include parents, a community representative, teachers, and the principal. Next school year, 2026-2027, we will be in need of Parent Representatives. Please consider supporting our school by being on this committee. All are welcome to attend, even if you are not a voting member.
More information may be found on our website.
