Hello Trillium High School Parents and Guardians,
During the morning of Wednesday, October 13th, 10th and 11th grade students have the opportunity to take the PSAT (Preliminary SAT). If your student is a 9th or 12th grader or a 10th or 11th grader choosing not to test, they will have a late start with no morning classes on Wednesday. Normal classes resume after lunch. Eligible students should inform their advisor next Tuesday if they are planning on taking the test. You may also respond to this message with your student’s preference.
The cost of the test for all 10th graders will be covered with district and state funds. The cost for an 11th grader to take the PSAT is $13.00 which may be paid on the day of the test. Parents/students may apply for a fee waiver for an 11th grader to take the PSAT if there is financial hardship; fee waiver requests should be made in writing and be accompanied by evidence of eligibility for the Federal Free/Reduced Lunch Program or other explanation of the circumstances. Please contact me directly for more information about the fee waiver.
The testing day will begin at 8:30 a.m. Testing is limited to 30 students from grades 10 & 11. There is basic information for parents below; 11th grade PSAT participation is mandatory to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
Thank You,
Nick Fenger
