Trailblazer Newsletter
April 17th, 2023
Thank you for helping to make this a special event for the Class of 2023 as we help celebrate our seniors!
Your donations will go towards covering material costs associated with the mosaic project. This special event will offer our seniors not only a chance to make lifelong memories with their friends and classmates but also serve as a reminder of how much they are loved and supported by the whole community. Thank you in advance for your generosity in helping to make this senior celebration one that they'll never forget!
Warm Weather Care Team Needs
As the weather gets warmer, the request for deodorant has increased. Please consider donating a few items to the Care Team. We place hygiene items in the female restroom and outside of the Counseling Office for students to take. Another frequently asked for item is toothpaste. We have updated our Amazon wish list to reflect the need.
Don't forget to change the address to Paul Duke when ordering!

Sophomores, have you heard? The PSAT and SAT are going digital during your junior year. You'll be the first students ever to take the digital PSAT in October and, in the spring, the SAT will be digital, too. What does all this change mean for you? Join our founder, Jed Applerouth, and digital SAT expert, Matthew Kiesner for answers to these questions and more. What's on the new test? How should students prepare for it? What strategies are most effective? Should I take the paper SAT, the new digital SAT, or the ACT? How will this impact my college application process?

Screentime
Screen Time lets you see exactly how much time your kids spend on their phones and tablets, the times of day they're most active, and which apps they use the most. You can also set app time limits, filter inappropriate content, and schedule "downtime" -- basically, shut down the device -- whenever you want.
eTips
Let your teen practice public speaking on you.
Effective presentation skills will help your teen achieve in school and in the workplace. But public speaking takes practice. To help your teen, be an audience. When your student has an oral report to do, suggest presenting it to you first. Ask your teen to make eye contact. Say if you can follow the argument and if your teen is speaking clearly. With practice, your teen will appear confident speaking in front of an audience. https://tpitip.com/?33cM18608
