JUNIORS
**RESCHEDULED** Junior Parents Guidance Evening
: On
Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 7 pm
counselors will present information about the college search process and standardized testing and will be available to answer questions that parents may have.
SAT/ACT Prep Courses
: TCHS will be offering both an SAT and ACT prep course run by MEC (Math & English Consultants) Test Prep. Mr. Pavia has worked with MEC at three different high schools since the late 1990s, including TCHS for our HSPT entrance test prep and MEC has always done an outstanding job at preparing students.
Juniors can take "Test Drives" that are full practice SAT and ACT tests on two Saturdays: Feb. 4 (SAT) and Feb. 11 (ACT). Students then receive a detailed feedback report on each practice exam they take to help them decide which exam they should prepare for. If a student signs up for a course, the money paid for the Test Drives will be deducted from the cost of the course.
Students must register 3 days before the "Test Drives" to be guaranteed a seat. Students can wait until they get their feedback to register for the course.
The ACT course will prepare students for the April 8, 2016 test and the SAT course will prepare students for the May 6, 2016 test. There will be SAT classes offered on Wednesday afternoons at either 3 pm or 6 pm. ACT classes will run after school on Mondays at 6 pm. We will need at least 5 students to run each class with a maximum of 20 students. For more information, please contact Mrs. Crane or Ms. Matthews in Guidance.

From the Nurses Office...
Please Review the following School Policy regarding Dismissal Due to Illness:
All students feeling ill MUST go to the nurse to be evaluated. The nurse will call parents if you need to be dismissed. NO student should be calling their parents to pick them up because they do not feel well and they want to go home. All students MUST have a pass from the nurse to be dismissed from school due to illness or medical related reasons. If your child calls you because he/she does not feel well, please tell them they MUST go to the Nurse.
Reminder: If your child is home ill, please call the school (203.322.3401) to notify us about the absence. Absences for illness require a doctor's note or documentation to be excused. 6 or more unexcused absences in a quarter will result in course failure for the marking period.
