Week of April 14, 2021

Attention, Sophomores: Testing 









This Friday, April 16, the PSAT 10 will be given at school starting at 9 a.m. Please see the counseling PSAT 10 webpage for details. We still haven’t heard from about 10 sophomores as to whether they plan on testing or not. If you haven’t completed the Google form survey, please do so, as it will help us plan testing rooms. We will send out a list of assigned testing rooms in an email blast to sophomore families. Remember to bring graphing calculator and pencils.

The other big testing event is the SOL Writing Test, which takes place over the last two weeks of April. We need all sophomores to indicate whether they are coming in for testing. Please make sure to complete this Writing SOL Registry survey ASAP this week so that we can safely plan testing rooms. More details about this SOL test and other SOL tests can be found on the counseling SOL Testing Spring 2021 webpage.
