• We are extending the deadline to sign up for the SAT during the school day to March 8. Remember that if you made a 1000 or higher composite on your October PSAT, your test will be paid for and you don't have to sign-up. We are encouraging all juniors and seniors to take advantage of this opportunity to take a SAT during the school day. The cost of the SAT is $47.50. If you are free or reduced lunches, the fee is $10. Please sign up in the counseling center and have all fees paid by Friday, March 8.
• Students who are signing up to take Dual Credit classes next year need to remember to submit their paperwork to their counselor this week. The deadline on the front of the packet reads April 1 as a deadline but those packets are needed in the counseling center as quickly as possible. In addition, any applications for activities such as CNA, Leadership, Early Release/Late Arrival, etc. must be turned in as well.
• Athletic Trainer Month:  Hey one, hey all...Can athletic trainers make a significant difference in sports safety? The statistics says “yes.” Schools with an athletic trainer report that their student athletes sustain fewer injuries than athletes at schools without athletic trainers. Having athletic trainers on staff also improves the rate of early detection of dehydration, head injuries, and other sports-related health issues. Student athletes at secondary schools with athletic trainers incur more diagnosed concussions, demonstrating better identification of these injuries. We’re not talking about changing sports equipment or the rules of engagement. We are talking about adding a new member to the team. This is brought to you by, Xavier Sanchez.
