8th Grade Invasion
PSAT - In person Students
PSAT - Virtual Students
Note from Mrs. Schaefer sent out in an email last week:
On January 26 2021, KLMS will be giving the PSAT 8/9 starting at 8:30AM. This test can only be given to student that come to campus and have the test proctored to them. All student currently on campus will be tested on January 26th. Students that are learning remotely will need to let us know below if they will be coming to campus to take the test so we can plan for them. Virtual students will also need to be picked up after testing has concluded no later than 12:15 (potentially earlier).
We are investigating options for testing virtual students separate from on campus students, which means virtual students may not test on January 26th. We will communicate the final decision as soon as we know.
Please note that transportation to/from school will not be provided for virtual students, regardless of the day they are testing.
For planning purposes, please complete this interest form by Wednesday, January 13th.
