Grades and Date Changes

Hello!  I am pretty much up to date on grades, except for the AP write.  I will be entering those this weekend.  This will have a big impact on your grades since, as of now, there is nothing in the writing category. 

Date changes: 

The MC Practice #1 is now due on Thursday, 10/15, becasue of my schedule and the PSAT.

I have postponed the next AP write because of homecoming.  It will be the following week instead.

PSAT Info

https://www.wevideo.com/view/481592279?timelineId=478812640

THE WHY???

Since this test is NEW, there are a lot of reasons WHY our 10th and 11th grade students should be taking this test:

PERK #1:

11th grade students who do really well could qualify for a National Merit Scholarship.  

PERK #2

The NEW SAT will be somewhat similar to the ACT.  Students will not be penalized for guessing and there will be questions related to common core curriculum.

PERK #3

Students who take the PSAT will be offered a FREE, personalized online prep SAT class (through Khan Academy) based on their PSAT results.  It will focus on areas where students need improvement.

PERK #4

Based on the PSAT results we (the school) will receive a list of students who have AP Potential in various subjects.  This information could help us greatly when working on student placement.

OTHER DETAILS: 

Cost: $15.00

Test Date: Wednesday, October 15th (Minimum Day)

Registration Deadline: Monday, October 12th (online through the Valhalla website or in the Finance Office).

Test Location: Science Building

Test Time: 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. (students excused from periods 6 & 7)

*Fee Waivers are available for 11th Grade Students ONLY!  Students can pick up an application in the Counseling Office.
