PSAT Testing on Jan. 26 for Grades 8-11

The PSAT test day for grades 8-11 is Tuesday, January 26. SGS will have a normal school start time of 8:20 a.m. and students will be dismissed when their testing session is completed, roughly at 12:30 p.m.  Please wait along the curb, as usual for pick-up.  The 9th and 10 grade students were given classroom assignments last Friday, including rosters showing the room number where they will go on the morning of the test.  All 11th graders will report to the US library for the test.  Students should report to their assigned room by 8:20 a.m. when they get to school on Tuesday, as testing will begin promptly. 
 
Students need to bring two sharpened #2 pencils (not mechanical) and an approved calculator that they are familiar with.  Students will need to leave their phones, bags, snacks, water bottles, etc., outside of the testing room in the hallway or at their locker.  There will be breaks between tests for drinks and snacks.  Student PSAT guides have been placed in each student's school mailbox with test tips and practice questions.  See College Counselor Kerry Clark's Email from 1-21-21 to parents and students for details on approved calculators, what to bring and not bring to the testing room, and links to the College Board’s PSAT website and Test day checklist.

NOTE: 12th graders will spend the morning of Jan. 26 in the Founders Theater working on IB projects (Individual Assessment, Extended Essay, and TOK essay).  Then from 12-3pm they will be in teacher classrooms working on IAs and other work they need to complete.
