PSAT
Badger High School is administering the PSAT test to 80 junior or sophomore students who want to take it on Wednesday, October 12th, from 7:45 – 12:00 at Badger. The PSAT is a great way to prepare for college as it measures reading, writing, language, and math skills in a format similar to the ACT and SAT tests. This test also provides the opportunity for students to compete for recognition and scholarships through the National Merit Scholarship Program.
To sign up for the test, students must bring in an $18.00 check made payable to Badger High School and give it to Mrs. Ingersoll in the Counseling Center.
The deadline to register for the PSAT test is this Friday, October 7th. We cannot take any late registrations, so ensure that students turn in their check immediately, so they do not miss this opportunity.
If you have any questions, please contact the Counseling Center.
WEF College Fair
The Wisconsin Education Fair (WEF) will take place on October 4th at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wl. We will be leaving Badger at 8:00 a.m. and returning around 11:00 a.m. There will be 100+ colleges to gain information about during this time. To sign up and get a field trip permission slip, please stop by the Counseling Center.
College Representatives
Watch for information on when college representatives will be at Badger to meet with students. Many schools will be scheduling visits with us throughout the fall. The library also has virtual reality tours for many out-of-state schools.
Transcripts
Students needing to send transcripts anywhere need to use www.parchment.com. The account is free to set up, and two copies can be sent for free. The cost is $7.00 for each additional copy. If a paper copy is needed for any reason, please contact Mrs. Ingersoll in the counseling office.
ACT scores
Colleges that request ACT scores can be sent through www.act.org. If an account is not already set up, students will need to create an account to send scores. Many colleges will not accept paper copies or emailed copies. They will need to be sent directly from ACT.
Worker's Permits
If you need a Worker's Permit, you'll need to bring the following to Mrs. Ingersoll in the Counseling Center: your Social Security card, $10 cash, and a letter from the employer stating that you will be working. If Mrs. Ingersoll is unavailable, you can get a worker's permit from the city hall in Lake Geneva.
