SAT Registration Dates and Deadlines are attached. To obtain a SAT Fee Waiver, all seniors are to use the following process:
The process for a senior (preference over juniors) to obtain a SAT fee waiver to use to register for an upcoming SAT is the following:

1. Email Senia Deshay (senia.deshay@manorisd.net) and copy Patricia Reyes (patricia.reyes@manorisd.net) and Melanie Henson (melanie.henson@manorisd.net) and ask if you are eligible to receive a SAT fee waiver and to request a SAT fee waiver if you are.

2. Ms. Deshay will verify if you qualify for a fee waiver in Skyward. If you are eligible, Ms. Deshay will assign a fee waiver code to you and email it to you.

3. You will use the fee waiver code to register for the appropriate SAT.

4. You can use the same SAT fee waiver code twice - you can retake the SAT one more time at no cost. You can only get one fee waiver your junior/senior year. You do not get one your junior year to test twice and one your senior year to test twice. You get one SAT fee waiver and can use it to test twice.

5. The student may not give the fee waiver code to anyone else.

Please contact Dr. Melanie Henson, CCMR Advisor/Coordinator at melanie.henson@manorisd.net if you have any questions.

“I AM SOMEBODY!”

Inspired by Rita Pierson & Les Brown

I AM SOMEBODY!

I was somebody when I came

I will be a better somebody when I leave

I deserve the education that I get here

I have things to do...people to impress...and places to go

I know what I want in life and I will do whatever it takes to get it

I will never allow other people’s opinions of me to become my reality

I AM SOMEBODY!

I will "Make An I.M.P.A.C.T."

I will live my dream because...

I deserve to live my dream

I am powerful

I am “Manor ISD Strong”

I AM SOMEBODY!
