FREE SAT & ACT Test Prep for Juniors

Posted on April 11, 2018 by Rachel Fusco

Announcing FREE online test prep for BOTH the SAT and ACT!

Is test prep appropriate for me / my student?

We encourage all JUNIORS who are considering a 4-year college to register and take at least one SAT/ACT by October of SENIOR year.

For 9th and 10th grade families, test prep is important to know about but – for now – the best way to maximize your student’s college opportunities is by helping them focus on maximizing their grades in school and building their resume with meaningful extracurricular, volunteer, or work activities.

Surrounding Parking Lots – Reminder for Students & Families

DVD students and parents, this is a reminder that the large gray building next to ours and its parking lot are private property, and our students should not be walking/riding/skating through it on their way to or from school. Also, students should not be dropped off or picked up by parents or Uber drivers in their parking lot. Please be respectful of their private property so that we can maintain the good reputation and relationship that we have with them! Thank you!
