SAT & ACT Announcement from Mr. Glover-
Currently SAT exams are canceled until the next test date June 6. College Board will share more details as soon as possible.
For the ACT, they have rescheduled their April 4 test date to June 13. We encourage those who wish to take or were already scheduled to take the ACT to go to their website at: act.org to learn more.
Update For AP Students:
Please note that the exam schedule for this year is unlike any in the past. Some students will be taking more than one exam in a day. Exams will be online and taken at home and you may use any device you wish. Each exam will be 45 minutes. We have been assured that any student approved for the use of accommodations will be able to use them. However, we are still awaiting an update for students testing with extended time and what that will look like. The College Board has told us that they will be sending us information to share with each AP student in regards to how to log on to take an exam by the end of this month.
*Stay tuned for more information from College Board!
Students with questions in regards to the AP exam taking process this year should contact the AP Coordinator, Mr. Glover dglover@nrsd.net
Course Registration:
In PowerSchool, go to ‘class registration’ on the left hand side and review the following:
Make sure you have requested a minimum of 25 credits.
Make sure you have requested backup electives, the same number of credits in the backup elective section as you have in the regular elective section.
Do not request more than 28 credits unless you are requesting a class that meets outside of the school day.
Please be mindful of your graduation requirements. (If you took a non physical wellness class for Junior year, you must take a physical wellness class for Senior year.)
Once you have ensured that your course registration is accurate, be sure to hit SUBMIT.
