PSAT for 9th Grade (Regular Schedule for 10th, 11th, and 12th)

9th grade students will be taking the PSAT. 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students have a regular schedule. 

9th Grade Parents,

We are looking forward to hosting the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) on campus this coming Thursday, March 25, 2021 for all of our 9th grade students.

We are thankful to be able to offer your students this opportunity and are also very cognizant of current health and safety guidelines. Your student's safety is of our utmost concern and as a result, strict health and safety protocols will be enforced for each student taking the test. These protocols include temperature checks, wearing masks at all times, and limiting the number of students to no more than 14 individuals per classroom.

Check-in for testing will begin at 8:30 a.m. in front of Alumni Hall and testing will conclude at approximately 12:30 p.m. Students will be released from their testing rooms in a staggered manner in order to reduce crowding. From there, students will be free to either join the 9th Grade Orientation in front of the gym or to be picked up in the stacking area.

There are a few additional reminders we wanted to share with you:

1. Students have access to reading the PSAT Student Guide via Canvas.

2. Students should stay at home if they are sick.

3. Students must be in uniform on the day of testing.

4. Check in takes place between 8:30-9:00 a.m. in front of Alumni Hall. Please be sure to arrive on time.

5. Students should bring #2 pencils and a calculator (mechanical pencils can't be used).

6. Students should be sure to bring and wear a mask at all times.

7. Students must remember to observe social distancing at all times.

8. Students should bring water and a snack as our cafeteria area will not be open.

While we encourage all students to take advantage of this testing opportunity, if you do not want your student to take the exam, please inform us as soon as possible in an email to our testing coordinator, Sr. Anne Kavanagh ([email protected]). Be sure to include your student's full name in the email.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing your student this coming Thursday on campus.
