On Wednesday, October 14, 2020, Fossil Ridge High School will administer the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT). The PSAT is a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT®. The PSAT/NMSQT has three parts: Reading, Math, and Writing & Language. The most common reasons students take the PSAT/NMSQT are to: help assess skills necessary for college-level work, prepare for the SAT, enter competitions for National Scholarships (junior year), and receive information from colleges.

All sophomore and junior students will test at no cost to them and are automatically registered. Parents or guardians of freshmen may choose to have their child participate in the administration of the PSAT for a fee of $17. To register your (freshman) student for the PSAT, you may pay online at the FRHS web store by credit card. Cash payments will need to be the exact amount ($17), as change will not be provided. See Mrs. Goodman in the main office to pay with cash/check. The deadline for registration is September 16th.

Keller ISD football tickets will be distributed through mobile delivery and accessed by ticketholders through digital wallets on smartphones or paper e-tickets. The move to mobile ticketing allows for faster delivery of tickets to fans, contactless transactions at gates, a more accurate count of attendees per game, and more flexibility for ticketholders. The ability to receive, share, and use tickets in a contactless manner is a top priority to KISD.

Tickets may be purchased through BRUSHFIRE. All tickets will be general admission. No reserved seating tickets will be sold but the green seat back seats are all open to general admission tickets just for the 2020 varsity football season. Pre-sale tickets will be $4 for students and $6 for adults. Tickets will open to the public each Tuesday, at 8 AM, the week of the game. Beginning at 4 PM on game day, the cost will be $8 per ticket. No tickets will be sold at the stadium ticket booths. 6-feet of social distancing is expected throughout the stadium with every other row clear of spectators, as per the UIL.

Run in the Dark is a fundraising event for Community Storehouse which is an organization committed to helping Keller ISD children succeed in their education, along with children in Northwest ISD and Carroll ISD.

This year's event will feature a virtual run that participants can run at their own pace, in their own space. Run lengths will include a one-mile Fun Run or a 5K Run. Registration fees are $30 for adults and $20 for children, and the proceeds help Community Storehouse provide educational tutoring programs for low-income students and food for families in need.

Everyone who registers will receive a T-shirt and those who finish the 5K will receive a medal.

To register or learn more about the event, please visit RunInTheDarkDFW.com.
