Redmond PTSA has partnered with The Princeton Review to provide the opportunity for students to take a “just for practice” ACT and/or SAT test.

These full-length practice tests, administered by The Princeton Review, offer students the opportunity to practice test taking strategies and determine baseline scores prior to taking the official SAT and ACT college entrance exams. Tests results are provided back to the students in the form of a detailed Score Report that identifies individual strengths and areas for improvement. Scores are not reported to anyone other than the student. Students can sign up either for fall or Spring to take these tests.

In the LINKS Lunch Buddy Program (Looking Into the Needs of Kids in Schools), we bring students together with caring adults. Mentors come during school hours once a week and spend the lunch hour in a pre-assigned area to eat, play games, make crafts, talk, and do other agreed-upon activities. Mentors provide social-emotional support to students who need a little extra one-on-one attention.

LINKS Lunch Buddy mentors help students feel engaged, supported and challenged, which can improve students' confidence and help students acquire the skills needed for lifelong success in school and beyond. Studies show that children with mentors are more likely to succeed.

The Lunch Buddy program is currently in 15 elementary schools: Clara Barton, Einstein, Ella Baker, Franklin, Juanita, Keller, Lakeview, Mead, Muir, Redmond, Rush, Sandburg, Smith, Thoreau and Twain. For more information, please contact LINKS program coordinator Victoria Goetze-Nelson at lunchbuddy@lwsd.org. Sign up here.
