Happy Holidays
I wanted to send out this newsletter to pass along some information from the guidance office before we head into December break. Please note that seniors still needing to discuss college applications should feel free to see their guidance counselor, as we still have five school days before December break begins!
Also, if you haven't read through our Vaping newsletter - please check it out: https://www.smore.com/td0s1.
I hope you all have a great holiday!

PSAT Results
Students who took the PSAT in October will receive their full PSAT Score Reports and CollegeBoard.org Access Codes during the 40 Minute Activity Period on January 30th.
Students are also able to log in to Naviance now and see their PSAT scores. Students needing their Naviance login information should reach out to their guidance counselor.
Click the link below for more information on interpreting PSAT scores. The link contains two videos - one which breaks down the Score Report, when it's available, and the other link shows students how to link their CollegeBoard.org account to Khan Academy. Students will get their Score Reports and CollegeBoard.org Access Codes at the end of January.
