On Wednesday, October 21st, we will be administering the PSAT to all 10th graders and any 9th or 11th grade students who signed up and paid to take the PSAT. All other students in grades 6-12 remain home that day and will complete asynchronous work at home through their Google Classrooms. This asynchronous work will be utilized for attendance purposes for any student not taking the PSAT. Students taking the PSAT test that day will be exempt from asynchronous assignments. If your student has difficulty accessing the internet, please have them request a paper copy of the assignment from their teacher.
The school day will begin at the regular time of 7:45 for test takers and bus transportation will run on its normal schedule in the morning for these students. Please make sure all testers bring your school issued laptop, fully charged, and charger. If you have a personal graphing calculator, bring that as well. Students may also bring a snack and drink to have during the break. All test takers will be able to get lunch once testing is completed. Car riders and walkers will be dismissed after selecting their lunch; bus riders will wait in the cafeteria until approximately 11:45 for bus dismissal.
Results for the PSAT will be available in each student’s College Board account on November 5, 2026.
