Good afternoon. GHS will give the PSAT on Tuesday, October 25th. This practice impacts each of the grades in the following way:
9th Grade: All 9th grade students will take the digital PSAT on this day. Students who have a school-issued laptop will need to bring this device, fully charged, on this day. Students who do not have a school-issued laptop will be issued one for this test only. There may not be extras, so students who have a school-issued laptop, must bring their device fully charged.
10th Grade: All 10th Grade students will take the paper-and-pencil PSAT on this day.
11th Grade. All 11th Grade students will take the paper-and-pencil PSAT on this day.
12th Grade: Distance Learning/Senior Capstone/Visits to Various Community Employers-12th grade students
do not report to GHS on this day.
A more precise timeline will come out after Fall Break, but we anticipate the following:
Students without extended time accommodations in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade will finish around 11 am. If these students have their own ride, they would be allowed to leave at that time.
Students in these grades with extended time accommodations will finish around 12 pm. If these students have their own ride, they would be allowed to leave at that time.
Lunch/Buses: Lunch will be served for students who would like to eat at school (but they are not required to) and buses will leave campus around 12:30 pm to bring any remaining students home.
Again, these times are approximate now and will be more precise after Fall Break.
It is very important that 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students be
present and on time at 7:30 am on Tuesday, October 25th. Further, 9th grade students should make sure their
school-issued devices are fully charged as their PSAT is done electronically.
Thanks for your help and all you do!
