On Wednesday, April 10, 2024, all freshmen, sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT 9, PSAT 10 or SAT at school as a part of the State of Illinois testing requirement. This year, the test has moved to a digital format. All students will use their school-issued Chromebooks to take the test. In order to have a successful testing day, we need students to make sure they bring the following items to school on April 10:
1. Fully charged Chromebook and charger (there will be a limited amount of loaner Chromebooks available).
2. An approved calculator. There’s a graphing calculator built into the app, but students can bring their own if they like.
3. Pen and/or pencil (scratch paper will be provided).
4. Water.
A reminder school is out April 1-5. Have a SAFE and HAPPY SPRING BREAK! We have shared some of the artwork from our Senior Spring Fun Day today at RHS!
