Hi Jackets!
A large number of our Juniors and Sophomores will be taking the PSAT in the high school gym tomorrow.
Students will report to the gym first thing in the morning and will begin testing by 8:30am.
The PSAT is 2 hours and 45 minutes long.
Please ask your Junior or Sophomore if they are taking the PSAT and remind them to get a good night's sleep so they can perform at their best.
