Hello 10th & 11th grade students! The PSAT interest form has been added to your grade level google classroom. 11th grade students are able to take the PSAT free of charge and if 10th grade students want to participate, it will cost $16. This fee can be paid through the MySchoolBucks website. Please know the PSAT is NOT required for graduation nor is it required for college applications. This is completely voluntary. It is simply an option for students to practice taking a standardized test if they are interested in taking the SAT at a later date. Students need to complete the form by August 19 @ 3pm if they want to take the PSAT on Saturday October 16.
Student’s eligible and interested in taking the Drivers Ed Class can now go to www.jordandriving.com, click on schedules and then private/charter schools and they will see the list of schools. There are instructions how to submit and a tab in blue HERE to download a registration form. Please turn in your registration form at the HS front office. Both classes are virtual, as they have been for the past 18 months. We are restricted to 35 seats so do not delay.
