Student and Parent Edition: February 27, 2023
SAT day is set for Wednesday, March 1! (Virtual Learning for 9, 10, and 12th grade students)
March 1, 2023, is designated as Indiana’s SAT Day. The SAT is the accountability measure for all Indiana schools. The SAT is a mandated test for all 11th grade students in the state of Indiana. As a result, Chesterton High School will be providing the SAT test free of charge to all 11th grade students. The SAT is also a method to fulfill a requirement for your students Graduation Pathway.
To participate in the SAT school day, students will need to bring their school issued device, fully charged, with them to school on March 1st.
Before the SAT, students need to make sure they have their device with them at school to connect to the school wifi on Monday, February 27 and Tuesday February 28. This will ensure students have proper updates before the test.
We are excited to offer this opportunity for our students and can't wait to celebrate their successes.
