The Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush

PSAT TESTING OCTOBER 15

All 10^th and 11^th grade students at The Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush will be taking the PSAT exam on Wednesday, October 15^th, 2014. The purpose of this exam is to prepare students to take the SAT exam in the near future, which has the same format. This test is important, particularly for the 11^th graders who have the opportunity to win National Merit Scholarships based upon their scores.

We will have a late arrival for all 9^th and 12^th grade students, who are NOT taking the PSAT; these students will report to school by 11:00 am on Wednesday, October 15^th. The school doors will open at 10:30 am for students NOT taking the PSATs and they will be directed to the auditorium. Students in 9^thand 12^th grade are expected to report to school no later than 11:00am.  However, all 10^th and 11^th grade students, who are taking the exam, MUST report to school by 7:45am, as the exam will start on time at 7:50am. Attendance and punctuality for this exam is critical – students who arrive late will not be able to take the exam once the exam has begun.

The exam will take approximately three hours, and will run from 1^st to 4^th periods, during which no classes will be taking place. All students will report to their normal 5^th period class after the exam, and school will continue on a normal schedule with 5^th through 8^th periods.

Sincerely,

Lori DeFields,
Principal
