During an upcoming school day, students will participate in the SAT Suite of Assessments, including the SAT® with Essay, PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and PSAT™ 8/9. These assessments help track student progress, prepare them for future success, and fulfill state and federal requirements.

Students can access their test scores through the BigFuture School™ mobile app, which also provides career guidance and college planning resources. Additionally, students can opt into the Connections™ program, which links them to colleges and scholarship opportunities without sharing personal information.

As part of testing, students may provide optional information for personalized guidance and scholarship connections. If you prefer to opt your child out of providing this information, please complete and return the Parental/Guardian Opt-Out Form to the main office before testing begins.

For more details, visit the College Board Digital SAT Suite Privacy Statement.

Students can drop in for tutoring on any subject, with no sign-up needed! Study tables are available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:25 to 3:30 p.m. This is a great time to study, finish homework, or makeup tests and quizzes (if arranged with a teacher).

Transportation is available. Please email Ms. Schultz or Mrs. Teuissen if you need bus transportation.
