Please listen to the following information regarding the modified schedule for Wednesday March 21st, when all junior students will take the SAT in school:
Juniors: Report to school by 7:15am. Signs will be posted to let you know which room you should report to for the test. You MUST BRING: Two #2 Pencils with soft erasers (no pens or mechanical pencils will be allowed) and a calculator. We also recommend bringing a snack and a water bottle. During the test, students will NOT be permitted to use cell phones, even during breaks. Phones and other electronic devices should be locked in a locker, powered off and turned into the teacher for the duration of the test, or left at home. To prepare for the March 21st School Day SAT, a pre-administration session will be held for all 11th graders during an extended homeroom period this Thursday, March 15th. At this time, 11th graders will provide the names of four colleges they want their SAT scores sent to for free. Juniors should come to the pre-administration with a list of four colleges, universities or scholarship programs to which they would like to send scores.
Sophomores and Seniors: Sophomores and Senior students enrolled in AP courses are expected to attend the review sessions offered by their teacher on March 21st. Please be advised that your review session may not be in your regular classroom. AP teachers will go over the review schedules with their AP classes.

March is Women’s History Month. Today we honor: Clara Barton. Clara Burton began her career early as a hospital nurse during the Civil War. From then on she excelled greatly in the field of medicine and education. In 1881 and at the age of 60, Clara founded the American Red Cross. Due to her efforts and the efforts of many volunteers, the American Red Cross now is in all 50 states.
