Good evening, Green Devil Families!

Here is your October 21^st weekly update for school events and information:

*PSAT testing for all freshmen and sophomores has been rescheduled to Tuesday, October 22^nd.  Please remind students to please bring their district issued laptops with charges to school for testing.

*PSAT testing for all juniors will be held on Thursday, October 24^th.   Students will need their district issued laptops and charges for testing.

*SAT testing for all seniors will also be held on Thursday, October 24^th.  Seniors will also need their district issued laptops and charges for this test as well.

*Try outs for JV GIRLS soccer (9^th and 10^th graders) will be held on Wednesday, 10/23 from 6:30-8:00 on Stewart Field.  Please make sure that all athletic paperwork has been submitted prior to try outs.  This includes school insurance.  If you have any questions, please reach out to Athletic Director, Patrick Goodrich at goodrichpa@pcsb.org .

*Just a reminder that report cards for quarter 1 will now be available and published in Focus on October 29^th.

*Senior families, please make sure you are part of a remind group if I you are not already receiving the information updates via text.  You can also check out the senior class webpage via the SPHS Website at https://www.pcsb.org/domain/5079 .  If you haven’t paid your Senior Dues, you can do so on that webpage as well. 

There will be a Senior Class Meeting for all of the Class of 2025 during school at 10:15 on November 6^th.  Herff Jones will be here to present information regarding graduation announcements and more.  Seniors will be given a catalog and order form at that time to bring home if you are interested in purchasing any of the “extra” items.  We will also make sure that all measurements for caps and gowns are completed by then.  Please reach out to Andrea Anderson our senior class sponsor with any questions (andersonand@pcsb.org).

*NON-IB Senior parents, please save the date of Thursday, October 24^th.  We will be hosting a Senior Parent Seminar Night to help inform senior parents of all of the academic graduation requirements for students.  The information shared will be for all TRADITIONAL seniors as IB students have different graduation requirements.  Senior parents will be able to work directly with administration and guidance and see exactly where their students stand in meeting the requirements for graduation.  The evening will begin promptly at 6pm.  Please park in the faculty parking lot and enter the campus from the doors that lead into the front hallway from that parking lot.  We are asking for parents to RSVP using the link provided here if you are planning to attend.  Please reach out to Mr. Bryant (bryantan@pcsb.org) with any questions.
