Dress Code 

At the start of the school year, school officials have been communicating expectations related to the school uniform with the student body. Thus far we have taken a patient and understanding approach in enforcement with students, particularly with the length of uniform shorts, issuing several individual warnings. As of this week, warnings will no longer be given and students who are out of dress code will receive detentions. We appreciate parent support in helping us enforce the school dress code. Please feel free to contact Dean of Students Tim Boyle with any questions related to the school uniform.

PSAT & SAT - Thursday, October 2

All Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors will take the PSAT on Thursday, October 2. Students must report to their testing location by 8:35 am in school uniform. Students are asked to arrive early to ensure ample time to get to their testing location. Dismissal will be following the PSAT at approximately 11:15 am. We cannot stress the importance of bringing a charged student iPad, as the PSAT is now given electronically. 

Seniors who have signed up for the school day SAT will report to their testing location by 8:35 am in school uniform as well. Testing will be digital and will end at approximately 11:15 am. Seniors NOT taking the SAT on October 2 are welcome to use this day for college visits or to work on applications.

Room assignments and what to bring on test day will be posted on the School Counseling Canvas page. Students will receive an email when room assignments and other important test day information has been posted, as well as reminders in morning announcements. Please contact Michelle Wilson with any questions.
