Jessica Overholt Photography will be taking individual portraits and class photos again this year. This will be a no uniform/dress-up day for your child.

Approximately one week after your child's portraits are taken the images will be uploaded to an online viewing gallery. There you will be able to choose from up to 4 different images of your child for ordering. 

You will receive an email notifying you when the portraits are available.  Along with the email you will also receive a login password and instructions.

When your student has an unplanned absence, it is important to notify the school by 8:30 am to briefly communicate the reason; call the front office at 371-6481 or email frontdesk@sarasotachristian.org .

 

Because we take our responsibility for students and their safety seriously, we need and appreciate your cooperation. If we are not notified accordingly we will call you, however your prompt communication will alleviate questions and minimize the number of calls we will need to make.

SAT/ACT Test Registration 

Seniors should register to take the SAT and/or ACT as soon as possible, if they have not yet tested or obtained benchmark scores showing readiness for college or career.  SAT registration is due by Sept. 6 for the Oct. 5 test.  The ACT registration is due by Sept. 27 for the Oct. 26 test.

The book fair is coming!  It will be open daily during school Monday, September 30th through Friday, October 4th.

In case you missed it in the August Blazer News, every Friday K-8th grade students may pay $1 to wear jeans instead of uniform bottoms; funds go toward elementary class auction quilts/baskets and middle school special events/projects.

 

Elementary school students simply bring their $1 to the adult crossing guard at the front of campus in the morning; middle school students give their $1 to their first period teacher.     

Each year students compete in a spirit shirt design contest and this year's winner was fifth grader Carson Yoder!

Freshmen will be taking the EXPLORE Test. These test scores provide early indicators to see if students are on track for college. With plenty of time before students graduate, teachers, parents and students can use this information to focus on areas of need. The EXPLORE test will help your student build high school course plans that will prepare them for college and introduce career options that are relevant to them. Students can check out sample tests questions at www.explorestudent.org.

 

Sophomores will be taking the PLAN Test. This test is an important step toward making college a reality. It helps you and your student identify:

• Skills and knowledge they need to succeed in college
• Areas where they need extra help or additional courses
• Career areas that match their interests

The PLAN test also provides an estimated ACT score that is one of the best indicators of readiness for college. PLAN connects your student to more information about college and financial aid choices. Students can check out sample test questions at www.planstudent.org. In addition, they can check out the ACT career planning and test preparations at www.actstudent.org.

 

Juniors will be taking the PSAT. This is a comprehensive assessment program that measures college readiness and provides students with the tools they need to start planning for the future. In addition, it is used in the following ways:

• PSAT is used by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation as an initial screen of entrants in its annual competitions for recognition and college scholarships.
• PSAT supports college and career planning: "My College Quick Start" is a personalized online college and career planning kit that helps students search for colleges, explore majors and careers, review your previous test performance and provides a personalized SAT study plan.
• PSAT prepares students for the SAT.
• PSAT provides entry into many other scholarship programs.

For free test practice questions and to sign up for "My College Quick Start" go to www.sat.collegeboard.com/practice.

 

Note: There is no make-up opportunity for these tests, so it's important for your student to be present and on time this day.
