GUILFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS RESOURCES:
 SAT School Day Coming for All Juniors on April 27
For the first time, GCS 11th grade students will have the opportunity to take the SAT exam at their home schools, and at no cost.
 
GCS will cover the expense of the exam, which will be given on April 27 to any 11th grader who wishes to participate. Transportation will be provided.
 
Currently, all 11th graders can take the ACT during the school day at the state’s expense, because those scores are used as part of the state accountability measures. The state doesn’t provide or pay for the SAT exam. Until now, students who wanted to take the SAT had to register and pay for it on their own and provide their own transportation.
  
High schools are offering SAT prep courses through Canvas to help students prepare for the exam. Click on the button below to learn more or register for this opportunity.

THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS APRIL 9 AT NOON.
