Hello Everyone! Well, the first half of the year is behind us, and there are sunny skies ahead!!! The second half of the year, though, is extremely busy for everyone. Testing will be here for grades K-11 before we know it. Please see the testing schedule below to able to prepare your children for the testing days. Note also, if you have looked previously, that the SAT testing dates have been changed until after Spring Break. Also, you can mark your calendar for Tech Rally – March 20th – and ABC Rally – March 24th! These are exciting days for our students! As for the Seniors, please remember school is NOT over! The February and April ACT tests are the last ones to take for full TOPS eligibility. College applications need to be completed if not yet done as well as housing applications with required fees. GPAs are not final until after final exams in May. Don’t let these very important things slip by the wayside in the excitement of the moment. Further, remember that scholarships are back in full force! Keep checking the posts outside the guidance office and here to keep up to date with opportunities for money! As always, I am here for any questions or concerns…just send me an e-mail or call me to schedule an appointment. Happy Spring!!! |
