There has been so much happening this month that I was worried March might feel boring. However, as I look at the calendar, March is definitely going to start busy. On Wednesday, March 1st, all 11th-Grade students will take the SAT in school as part of assessing readiness for college and career. There is no cost to the student for taking this test. All 11th-Grade students should plan to arrive at school no later than 7:35 a.m.
