We wanted to send a reminder that on Wednesday, October 10, 2018, York Community High School will be administering the PSAT/NMSQT to all Juniors from the PSAT suite of assessments published by the CollegeBoard.  The tests have been paid for through the District, and nothing additional needs to be completed in order to register your child.

October 10th is a half day for students, but it is NOT a late arrival day: we will begin testing at 7:40 am, and students will be dismissed at the conclusion of their exam at approximately 11:30.  More information about what to bring and our bus schedule will be sent out closer to the exam date.  

We are also pleased to invite you to attend our annual "Junior Parent Night" program on Monday, October 15th at 7pm in the Auditorium.

In order to assist students and families as they embark on the post-high school planning process, we wish to provide information on the following topics:

• Overview of College/Career Readiness
• Understanding of what colleges seek
• Information about Standardized Testing (ACT/SAT) and Test Prep
• Timeline of tasks to assist students in staying on track
• Quick overview of financial aid

We look forward to seeing you there!

Estimados Padres / Guardias,

Queremos recordarles que el miércoles, 10 de octubre la Secundaria York administrara un examen estandarizado a todos los estudiantes de primer año (Freshmen), segundo año (Sophomore), y tercer año (Juniors) de la suite de PSAT de los exámenes publicados por el CollegeBoard. Los exámenes han sido pagados por el Distrito y nada adicional debe ser completado con el fin de inscribir a su hijo/a.

El 10 de octubre es un medio día para los estudiantes, pero NO es un día de entrar tarde: vamos a comenzar los exámenes a las 7:40am, y se despedirán los estudiantes en los tres niveles de grado, así como los estudiantes en el Centro de Transición del Distrito 205 a la conclusión de su examen que será aproximadamente a las 11:30am. Los estudiantes del último año (Seniors) no tendrán clases, pero les pedimos que tomen el día para visitar un colegio, universidad u otro programa de post-secundaria.

La escuela secundaria York se complace en invitarlo a asistir a nuestro programa anual "Junior Parent Night" el lunes 15 de octubre a las 7 p.m. en el auditorio.

Con el fin de ayudar a los estudiantes y a sus familias a medida que empiecen el proceso de planificación posterior a la escuela secundaria, deseamos proporcionar información sobre los siguientes temas:

• Descripción general de la preparación universitaria / preparación para la carera

• Comprensión de lo que las universidades buscan

• Información sobre pruebas estandarizadas (ACT / SAT) y preparación para los exámenes

• Cronograma de tareas para ayudar a los estudiantes a mantenerse en un buen camino

• Descripción general de ayuda financiera

Esperamos verlos allí!

Dr. Catherine Bendicsen, Mr. Ryan Doherty, and Mrs. Amy Thompson
