As you may know we originally planned SAT Test Day for 10th & 11th graders for this Wednesday, April 10. However, due to the lost instructional days with last week’s flooding, we have decided that it is in the best interest of our students to push the test to Monday, April 15. This will provide our Math & English departments time to do final review and test preparations with our students. I will continue to do reminders as we get closer, but please note: 9th grade – Will participate in a variety of activities including Stop the Bleed training with WVU Medicince 10th grade – All students are required to take PSAT. We will have make-up testing on Thursday, April 18. 11th grade – All students are required to take the SAT. We will have make-up testing on Thursday, April 18. 12th grade – Students should participate in Patriot Day of Caring. Information on this was shared today and forms can be found on Schoology.

The Governor’s Computer Science Institute (GCSI) offers students practical experience in computer science, coding, and programming to solve real-world problems. In order to participate, 9th and 10th graders must apply online! More information can be found here: https://wvde.us/gov-schools/computer-science-institute/
