SAT School Day-- Wednesday, March 1st
SAT School Day-- Wednesday, March 1st
Spoto will host the SAT test on Wednesday, March 1st, for all juniors (and some seniors). It is an EXTREMELY important day for our students. Juniors have the ability to reach the concordant score for the FSA reading and Math benchmarks, establish a reportable score to colleges and universities, and qualify for National Merit Status. Some seniors will take the SAT test as well to reach those same FSA benchmarks.
Our students will have a REGULAR school day with a few modifications.
Wednesday, March 1st is a REGULAR and FULL school day.
Let's Go Spartans!!
