The SAT will be given to all 11th grade classes on April 9, 2024.  The SAT will be administered digitally.  All students will need to bring their Chromebooks. Students need to check in to their assigned classroom by 8:30 a.m. No one will be admitted to a room once testing has begun. If a student arrives late, they will be directed to the late room, if time permits.  

This week, students completed the Digital Readiness Check in their English class. Students were provided their log in info to Bluebook, and the in-app practice tests. Students have access to full-length practice tests. There is no limit on the number of times a student can take any practice test.

During testing time, students should not use any prohibited devices. Students will be asked to turn off cell phones and put them away in a bag or backpack. If an emergency arises, please contact your House Assistant to contact your student during testing time.
