School Based SAT
Juniors will be administered the SAT on Wednesday, March 22nd. The school based SAT is sponsored by the state and used for accountability measures. It is free to our students and provides reportable scores for college admissions and scholarships. Juniors have been preparing for the SAT by taking the PSAT (last Oct), connecting their score reports to Khan Academy, and participating in various prep opportunities in school.
This SAT is administered digitally on the student’s school issued laptop. Students who use a personal laptop must see IT.
PSAT 10
This year we will be administering the PSAT 10 to all 10th graders on March 22nd. This standardized assessment measures readiness for college and provides students a practice opportunity for the SAT. The PSAT 10 is the same as the same as the PSAT/NMSQT in terms of subject matter and difficulty, but it’s different from the PSAT/NMSQT in that it is taken in the spring of 10th grade (versus the fall of 10th/11th) and does not qualify students for the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Counselors have introduced the PSAT 10 to sophomores earlier this month which included information about what it will cover and what to expect on test day. They have distributed a booklet with information about the PSAT 10 and practice questions. The PSAT 10 is a paper exam. The content is similar to that on the SAT, with reading, math, and writing and language sections. Please visit https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/psat-10 for more information about what is included in the assessment.

Coming in March is the SHS Spring Musical "Addams Family"! The Project Graduation Committee will be operating the concession stand in conjunction with the Theater Department. We need some donations of water and candy, but most importantly, we need some adults and students to help! Students will earn Community Service hours. The biggest help we need is on March 17th. I typically do all the shows, but that is my son's 18th birthday and my middle child is coming home for Spring Break that day. I would really appreciate it if someone could volunteer for that date--I will tell you all about how to do it and it is the easiest gig ever--I promise!
Dates are Thursday 3/16 from 6-9 pm; Friday 3/17 from 6-9 pm; Sat 3/18 1-4 pm and 6-9 pm. Attached is a Sign-up Genius or you can contact Lisa Eastland at eastland@comcast.net. Thank you!

Robotics Team
Sougehan's robotics team competed in their first event of the season this weekend, the event was scheduled to run Friday and Saturday but due to the snow they were forced to do some creative scheduling and fit a 2 day competition into 1 day. This meant they went straight through from 7:30 am to after 8:30 pm without scheduled breaks or rest periods, it was rest and eat when you can. The team, students and mentors were able to rise to the challenge with distinction.
The robot performed excellently, so well that we were presented with a Judge's Award "Innovation in Control" It came with the following message:
“The innovation in control award celebrates an innovative control system or application of control components, electrical ,mechanical or software, to provide unique machine functions. This team is being presented with the innovation and control award. Their drivetrain scheme helped keep them from being pushed around. They demonstrated strengths in enhancing the stability of their robot. Contrary to your team name, which means lack of control, you creatively managed all wiring for full function and protection during play. Congratulations to team 138 entropy from Amherst.”
We performed well throughout the event and had the 2 highest scoring matches of the day. We finished the day placing 6th out of 39 during qualifications earning us the 6th alliance captain spot – an excellent result so early in the season (this is week 1) We were then selected by the team 4 alliance captain and made it to the quarterfinals of the double elimination tournament before suffering our second loss and ending our day.
We are looking forward to our next event March 17-19 in Reading, MA.
