SAT
The original date for our in-school SAT was March 25 but we now are planning for all juniors to have the opportunity to take the SAT in school on Tuesday, April 28.

Students could use school closure time to complete free SAT / PSAT preparation on Khan Academy.  Counselors have shown students how to link PSAT scores with Khan Academy for free, personalized SAT practice.   Research shows that 20 hours of practice leads to an average gain of 115 points on the SAT, which all juniors will take during the school day at the end of April. To practice, students can go to this link:   https://www.khanacademy.org/sat  and click "start practicing".
