New in this Week's edition...
  • Spanish and Math Placement Exams

  • Athletic PIAA Physical Requirements
Math and Spanish Placement Exam
The Math and Spanish Placement Tests are optional , and should only be completed by students looking to place out of Algebra 1 and Spanish 1! Click below to read more and register for the exam(s).

     It is our understanding that you may have completed Algebra 1 and/or Spanish courses before entering Bonner & Prendie in September . Because of this, some of you will be placed in our Honors Algebra 1 course. However, some of you may qualify to take Algebra 2 and/or Spanish 2 during your freshmen year so we are offering a placement test for those interested in testing out of Algebra 1 and/or Spanish 1. If you believe you are qualified to test out of Algebra 1 or Spanish 1, you may register for the test below!

Each test usually runs about one hour, and you do not need to take both exams. Cell phones and calculators are not permitted during the test. We will meet in the main lobby of Bonner & Prendie 15 minutes before the test to allow you to “check in”. Should you have any questions, please email the Math Department Chair, Mrs. Liz Farren (P '19, '21) at farren@bonnerprendie.com or our World Language Department Chair, Dr. Monica Floyd (P '20) at floyd@bonnerprendie.com ! Congratulations on your graduation and enjoy your summer!
Important Physical Info for Future Bonner and Prendie Athletes!
From the Athletics Department:
Each student must have an updated PIAA Physical each school year. For a physical to be valid for the 2019-2020 school year, it must be dated June 1 st , 2019 or after.  No student will be permitted at any team activity without an updated 2019-2020 PIAA Physical.
 
On Monday, June 3 rd , from 6:00-8:00, Penn Medicine will be bringing a team of Trainers and Physicians to administer Physicals at Bonner & Prendie. The cost will be $30. This is the best opportunity for each of your athletes to be cleared for your season; specifically, those teams/athletes involved in summer workouts/camps.
 
Again, no student will be permitted to participate after June 1 st  without a 2019-2020 Physical.  Please reach out to Athletic Director, Mr. Brian Wagner '12, at wagner@bonnerprendie.com!
