Dear Parents/Guardians,
On October 24th, sophomores at Blackford Junior-Senior High School will be taking the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). The PSAT is a slightly shorter version of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is a state mandated exam students will take in their junior year. The PSAT is an important part of your child’s high school education as it serves as a practice run for the state mandated SAT (taken during the spring of your child’s junior year). Additionally, PSAT scores can be used as “qualifiers” for acceptance to certain dual credit courses and the results from the PSAT provide valuable information related to college/career readiness and AP potential. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00am.
FRESHMEN, JUNIORS and SENIORS will not attend school on Tuesday, October 24. All parents/guardians of freshmen, juniors and seniors need to submit the Google form sent to the email address in Skyward. Please submit the form by Monday, October 23rd. If we do not have the form completed, a parent must call to excuse the absence or the student will be marked with an unexcused absence.
The form should NOT be completed by sophomores who are taking the PSAT or junior high students. Sophomores and junior high students will report to school on October 24th.
If you have any questions, please contact the high school at 765-348-7560.
Sincerely,
Blackford Junior-Senior High School Administrative Team
