MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
This week we are spreading awareness for “Mental Health Matters.” While Mental Health matters every single day, our HOPE is to spread intentional awareness throughout next week! A very special thank you to Hope Squad who is sponsoring Mental Health Matters! Check out Mental Health awareness/resources on Twitter and Instagram (@HBHSHopeSquad).
REMOTE LEARNING ON MARCH 10 FOR THOSE NOT TESTING
On March 10, all sophomores will have the opportunity to take the PSAT 10 at Bradley High School. Even though this is a “Group A” hybrid day, all students who are NOT testing (freshen, juniors, and seniors) will be in remote learning on March 10. These students will not be in the building as they will be learning at home through instruction on Canvas. Only sophomores taking the PSAT 10 will report to Bradley on March 10.
Attention Sophomore Parents
On March 10, all sophomores (according to their grade in Home Access) will be taking the PSAT 10 test at their home buildings. Only 10th grade student taking the PSAT 10 will report to school on this day–all other students will be working remotely at home. On March 10, sophomores will report to their testing locations at 7:40 a.m. These testing rooms will be posted on the Class of 2023 page. Below is additional information that will be helpful on both the testing day and leading up to the test day. Please contact your counselor for additional questions or clarification
- All College Board test security measures will be in place for this assessment. Students should be prepared not to bring their cell phones into the testing location (they can be kept in a backpack and turned off). They should also have proper identification with them. (current School ID, driver’s license, state ID, etc)
- Students should plan to bring a College Board approved calculator to the test administration. (Calculator information is LINKED HERE)
- Students should be able to see their scores from the state administration in their College Board account approximately 4 weeks from the test date.
- Please check the College Board website for specific questions: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10
