Arrival of Student Blazers and Start of Winter Uniform Season

Students are scheduled to begin wearing our winter uniforms on Tuesday, October 13. We recently received word that student blazers will be delivered to school and sent home with your daughters on October 10. If this date should change, we will be sure to notify you. Flynn & O'Hara have notified us that there are a number of families who have not yet had their daughters measured for a blazer. It is extremely important that each student is measured asap for their blazer. Not getting measured for a blazer in a timely manner is no excuse for not having a blazer by the start of the winter uniform season.  At this time, families must go directly to a Flynn & O'Hara store to have their daughter measured for her blazer. 

Wednesday, October 14th
9th graders: PSAT 8/9
10th and 11th graders: PSAT

Students have received testing materials that they are reviewing in their classes. Students are expected to be on time and in their school uniform.  They should report to their testing room by 8:10am.  Testing will begin promptly at 8:15am and will be completed around 12:30pm.  There will be no make-up tests if your daughter is absent.  

Tips:  Be prepared - Review - Rest well the night before - Eat breakfast - Focus - Don't forget a pencil
