LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER FOR PSAT & PRE-ACT |
|
Attention all sophomore and junior families: If you wish to register for the PSAT and/or Pre-ACT, please remember to do so on MySchoolBucks by the end of the day TODAY, Friday, September 10.
It is recommended that all students in grades 10 and 11 take both of the practice college entrance exams, the PSAT (practice for the SAT) and the Pre-ACT (practice for the ACT), in order to discover which test they prefer. The PSAT and Pre-ACT are being offered on the CSArts-SGV campus on the following dates:
-
PSAT: Saturday, October 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
-
Pre-ACT: Saturday, November 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
At this time, the UC and CSU systems do not require college entrance exams, but there are some private colleges and out-of-state colleges that still recommend submitting test scores for college admissions.

SEEKING COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS |
|
CSArts-SGV is grateful to have the continued support of the Maxwell H. Gluck Foundation through the Gluck Community Service Arts Fellowship Program. Over the past three years, this funding has provided our students with the opportunity to go out into the community to bring free arts activities to those who have little to no access. This important outreach program has enabled the school and our students to become more active and engaged members of the San Gabriel Valley community. In turn, our fellow community members, especially those from economically challenging circumstances, have been exposed to and inspired by the arts.
As we begin another year of this influential program, we need your help identifying community organizations that serve children, seniors, or other groups who could benefit from free arts enrichment programs brought to them by CSArts-SGV students and teachers. All referrals within the San Gabriel Valley are welcome and appreciated. Please send your recommendations and contacts to our Outreach Coordinator, Simon Harrison, at simon.harrison@sgv.csarts.net.
