PSAT/SAT - OCTOBER 10
October 10, Wednesday, is the first day back from your long weekend. It will be an early release day.
ALL freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will be taking PSAT in their advisement/homeroom. Students will report to their advisement location as soon as they arrive to school.
Remember:
- get a good night of rest and a healthy breakfast
- bring several #2 pencils
- an acceptable calculator
- You do not need your backpack as there will be no classes
- Leave all your electronics at home or in the locker
Registered seniors will be taking SAT and need to
report to the gym lobby at 7:15AM
Lunch will be Grab and Go style at 12:30 on the way to the bus. Students will be dismissed at approximately 12:30.
NO checkouts will be allowed during testing.
|
PSAT DAY
PSAT on WEDNESDAY, October 10
Parents and Guardians, Please mark your calendars: it is critical for all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to be in attendance on this testing day. We kindly request to consider NOT checking your child out of school for any reason during that day so they can complete the entire test. There are NO MAKE UP SESSIONS for the PSAT. So, if they do not finish their test in one setting, they will not receive a score. It is also an early release day, so students will be dismissed at 12:30PM.
Why is it important for my child to
take
and do well on the PSAT?
- It helps students navigate their path through high school toward college and career, and offers a range of unique benefits to students.
- The National Merit Scholarship Program uses PSAT/NMSQT scores to identify candidates. And scholarships offered by new College Board partners use information from the PSAT/NMSQT to expand access to scholarship dollars.
- Students who take PSAT will have access to video lessons and will receive personalized SAT study resources based on their test results. Their Khan Academy® practice experience is tailored to meet individual student needs.
- Using results from the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT, AP PotentialTM helps schools identify students likely to succeed in certain AP courses and AP Exams. These students are also notified of their potential directly.

HOMECOMING 2018

This year, rather than a pep rally during school, we will be holding a Homecoming Pep Rally the night before the big game on the front lawn, Thursday, October 18 at 6:30PM . We are planning to make it a full community event by inviting parents, alumni, students, elementary/middle school families, teachers, etc. We will be having a live band and several food trucks there along with other normal pep rally festivities (football team, cheerleaders, drumline, dance team, etc.) There will be activities and booths for young kids, making this a perfect family night out. Come build excitement for Milton's homecoming weekend!
LIP SYNC BATTLE
To add to Homecoming festivities this year we will be adding another event to the lineup - "Homecoming Lip Sync Battle". Students will battle it out as they lip sync songs to a live audience in hopes of winning the grand prize. All students can audition as individuals or groups on October 11 in the Aux Gym at 4:00PM - props and costumes are welcome. The show will be open to the public on Tuesday, October 16 at 7:00PM for $5 in the Main Gym.
