Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test is a standardized test administered by the College Board during October that closely mirrors the SAT. College-bound 11th graders are encouraged to take the test. The PSAT/NMSQT can qualify students for the National Merit Scholarship Program and other scholarships.
Please see the Parents Guide to PSAT/NMSQT for more information and to see if your student would benefit from taking the test.
Central Valley Charter Schools do not provide a testing site, however, some local private and public schools have allowed our students to test with them in the past. You can search and find a school here. Email your interest to the school along with the student's first and last name, and grade level as soon as possible. The test fee is $18. It is required that the students have a student ID to identify them on the test day.

The BIG List of Academic Adventure Ideas
The schools are enhancing their academic trips this year to make them more enriching and engaging! With a focus on quality over quantity, there will be fewer school-sponsored trips, but parents can still take advantage of OS funds to explore educational destinations with their students. And with a Big List of ideas available, there are plenty of opportunities for learning and making new friends. Sounds like a fantastic way to make the most of the school year!
