PSAT FOR 8TH GRADE
Our 8th graders will have the opportunity to take the PSAT 8/9 on Friday, April 17. The PSAT 8/9 is geared towards current 8th and 9th grade students. We strongly encourage each 8th grader to take advantage of this opportunity, but it is not required. The cost of this test is $12 and will be charged to your FACTS account if you choose to have your child participate. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and end around 11:45 a.m. on Friday, April 17. Students will be dismissed once the testing period is over and will need to be picked up as supervision will not be available. Students who choose not to take the PSAT will need to remain at home on Friday, April 17. Please complete the following form to indicate whether or not your child will participate no later than Friday, March 13. https://forms.gle/CQ6Q3kJhzxvkZS9y8
8TH GRADE DRESS DOWN
In just a few weeks, our 8th graders will be 50 days away from being highschoolers! Let’s celebrate by dressing in 50’s style on Thursday, March 5th. Our 8th graders will also have the chance to purchase coke and root beer floats for $1 in the HS cafeteria, so remember to bring cash.
