PSAT 10 - Class of 2023 (April 23, 2021)

SAVE THE DATE

Waldwick High School will be hosting the PSAT 10 for all current Sophomores - Class of 2023, on Friday, April 23, 2021. This test will be available to Sophomores only.  We offer this national test free of charge during the school day.

The PSAT is an excellent opportunity to prepare and gain an understanding of the SAT exam. PSAT study guides will be handed out to all Sophomores. English and Math teachers will be taking time to review the study guide with the students. 

For full-time remote learners, we will be scheduling a time for you to pick up your study guide and pre-grid your answer sheet. A separate email will be sent regarding those details in late March. 

If there is a parent/guardian who wishes not to have their child sit for the test, I ask that you have a conversation with your son's or daughter's guidance counselor prior to making that decision. If you choose to opt your child out, please complete this Google Form so I can remove their name from the list. * Opt-out Form (Please complete the form by Monday, March 8) 

On Friday, 4/23/21, All Sophomores will be in the building taking the PSAT 10. Once the testing is complete, students will be dismissed for the day. 

A modified schedule will be in place for all other grade levels.  That schedule will be posted in the beginning of April.
