SAT and E-Learning Day Reminder: Wednesday, March 6
All junior students will take the SAT on Wednesday, March 6. Students will need to bring a fully charged iPad! This is the school-day SAT paid for by the state, but it is a reportable score for college applications in the fall. The cafeteria will still serve breakfast that morning for students who normally utilize that, but there will be no lunch. Students should be in uniform and arrive early to make sure they are in their classrooms, ready to test by 7:50 a.m. Dismissal will be at 11:00 a.m. A list of testing rooms will be on the school counseling Canvas page by March 4.

|
|
On this day, all other students will utilize an eLearning asynchronous day. Reminders about asynchronous procedures and expectations can be found here. If you have any questions, please contact Abbey Saurine, College Counselor, at asaurine@bishopchatard.org.
