Grade 10 – PSAT 10
Once again, and confirmed by email from the College Board, the PSAT 10 scheduled for April 28 has been canceled. The current grade 10 students will have the opportunity to take the PSAT 11 in October 2020.
Dear Colleague,
We hope this email finds you well during this challenging time. Thank you for everything you and your colleagues are doing to support students and families as we all navigate the challenges the coronavirus is causing.
Due to the coronavirus, guidance from public health organizations, and school closures across the world, the College Board is unable to provide the April PSAT™ 8/9 and PSAT™ 10 administrations. Unfortunately, there won’t be an opportunity for PSAT 8/9 or PSAT 10 testing this spring.
Sincerely,
College Board
Grade 11 – Student Led Junior Conferences- are continuing!!!
We are still waiting for some Juniors to sign up for their Junior Conference. Did you, as a parent, have a Junior Conference yet with your child and College Counselor? If not, please ask your child to schedule.
Grade 12 – Student Visa for Study in the United States
At the U.S. Embassy, the visa operations are currently closed and there is no date yet when it will reopen. Students should continue to check the U.S. Embassy website. College Counselors will present a Screencast (end of April) about the procedures and documents needed to apply for a student visa.
University Deposit
Please check the University website for the deposit deadline. Let your College Counselor know which university you will be attending, so they can send the Final Transcript in June.

Virtual University Visits
College Counselors are sending information to students about Virtual University Visits. We are aware of the abundance of emails and do not want to overload the parents in-box too. Please ask your child about the virtual visits if you would also like to attend.
Screencasts Coming
We will be announcing Screencasts on varying topics for both parents and/or students. Example- we emailed a screencast to G11 students about asking their teachers for Letters of Recommendation. College Coffee Screen Casts are coming toward the end of April, beginning of May. These will include applying to the: UK, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands.
Please do not hesitate to email your College Counselor if you have any questions.
