PSAT
The PSAT's will be October 10th this year. All 10th Grade Students will be required to take the test at no cost to them (so no need to register). Juniors are highly encouraged to take it as they can qualify for The National Merit Scholarship AND it’s great practice for the new digital SAT test in the spring. Please fill out the form below to register. The test is $18 and payment can be dropped off in the Counseling Office. If paying by check, the check will be made out to RLASD. Registration will close on September 11th.
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) is structured similarly to the SAT®, has the same sections and timing, and measures the same Reading and Writing and Math skills students learn in the classroom—the knowledge and skills your child needs to succeed in college and career. Please see the attachment for the Student Guide.

How to Submit a Help Ticket
CLICK HERE - http://help.rlasd.net
One of the great features of the new Help Ticket system is the ability to sign in with your Google account. If you are already signed into Gmail or Google drive in your browser, you will not need to enter your credentials again when clicking on the "Sign In with Google" button .
We would prefer that support tickets be entered via the web portal as it allows us to gather more information that can help us to quickly resolve issues. If you are having a technical issue that keeps you from accessing the web portal, you may enter a support ticket by simply emailing support@rlasd.net or leaving a message on the help ticket voicemail line at 717-244-6325 . Both of these services will automatically create a support ticket for your issue.
