English SAT Prep Course Offered
|
The English SAT Prep cours is a six-day course that reviews the necessary skills assessed as important to the English portions of the Redesigned SAT including reading comprehension and writing. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with the SAT format through sample questions and practice. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend each session and do the homework that is suggested. Here is what one of our students said after taking the course:
"I took the SAT prep course in my sophomore year, and have felt its benefit in each of my subsequent SAT test experiences. The prep course familiarized me with not only the content of the exam, but also its structure and grading system. Through practice exercises, development of time management skills, categorization of test content, and more, SAT prep reduced the anxiety and uncertainty I felt surrounding the exam, and enabled me to view the SAT as a test like any other-- one which I could prepare for in order to preform at my best."
The course is offered from 3-5 p.m. Sept. 24, 25 & 26 and Oct. 1, 2 and 3. For course information and registration form, please
click here. For more information, contact
Ms. Jennifer Noel.

SportsLeader Virtue of the Week

Alumni Band Get-together
All alumni of the Delone Catholic HS Band (marching or concert, any graduation year) are cordially invited to play in the bleachers with the current Marching Band at the upcoming homecoming game on Friday, September 28, 2018. Mr. Yealy can supply some drums and keyboards, but most alumni will need to bring their own instruments. Color Guard alumni and former instrumentalists who don't have access to an instrument are also invited to join us in the bleachers. All participants are asked to register online by Friday 9/21. Playing participants are kindly asked to make a one-time $5 donation at the game to help the band purchase additional copies of the iconic "yellow books" for alumni to use. Alumni who participated last fall do NOT need to make another donation. If possible, participants should plan to meet at the west end of the home bleachers around 6 p.m. on 9/28. The 2018 DCHS Marching Band will hopefully have time to perform their field show around 6:35, following the pre-game homecoming crowning. Latecomers are welcome to join us any time that evening. Please
click here to register. We hope to see you there!
