The TIGER times
Yamhill Carlton High School
Week of October 8-13
Greetings,
Sophomores and a few juniors will be taking the PSAT on Wednesday, October 10 in the morning beginning at 8:10 am. Please avoid appointments on this day as well as encouraging your student to get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast. Our goal is to provide the best circumstances surrounding this test so each student can demonstrate their best work.
We will be mailing out progress reports at the end of this week to parents of students who are at risk of failing a class or classes. Please take some time to review your student's work in Jump Rope and discuss with them potential ways they can improve. If you have additional questions, please reach out to your student's teacher(s). I believe we are still early enough in the year to make adjustments so that your student can obtain the knowledge/skills needed to pass each class.
Now for the best news! We are hoping to gain access to the Science/CTE Building this week, which will allow our teachers to move into their new classrooms and be ready to instruct in the new building on Monday, October 15. I can only imagine the hard work, determination, and time that has gone into making this a reality and I can't wait to watch our intermediate and high school students learn in this incredible new environment. Thank you to our community for committing to this endeavor. I would also like to thank our staff for orchestrating their move into the building.
Looking forward to a great week!
Cindy Schubert
Principal

ASVAB Test on November 1
The Armed Services Vocational Apitude Battery (ASVAB) will be given to interested Juniors and Seniors on November 1. Students need to sign up in the Counseling Office if they are interested in taking the test.
There are two primary reasons why you should consider taking the ASVAB.
The ASVAB is utilized to assist 11th and 12th graders to better assess their practical knowledge and natural mental aptitude. The exam calculates how a student may benefit from certain career pathways depending on how they score on parts on the exam. It can help point a student that is solid in mathematics towards a career in math then is able to pull from other aspects of the test to further suggest more focused careers based on how well they were able to comprehend that field of information. An illustration of this could be a junior that scores well in science and technology, the ASVAB score may suggest they focus their senior year by acquiring extra classes to better their odds to get into a school more focused on that expertise. The ASVAB serves as a useful tool to let a growing high school student and their families make an educated decision on how to proceed with formal education beyond the senior year.
2. The ASVAB test also is used to assess the developed abilities of an armed forces recruit to discover the quality of vocational proficiency in various fields of knowledge and expertise. The test is utilized as a "forecaster" of how particular individuals will have the ability to master certain areas of study. The ASVAB exam calculates knowledge of numerous fields of study and level of understanding in order to work out which military professions might be a better fit for a fresh soldier/sailor. The ASVAB score you earn in each component of the examination can directly impact if you can move ahead on certain armed forces vocations.
