Dear Parents/Guardians,
Some important happenings at the MHS:
*Athletic registration for winter Sports: The deadline to submit all Winter athletic paperwork has been extended to October 25, 2019. When submitting physicals, please mail or hand in a hard copy to Nurse Housman at the middle/high school. In addition, please complete and submit the online registration through our athletic registration tab. Know that no athlete will be able to participate in athletics without both of these documents. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Mr. Zalocki.
*AP Testing: The deadline for AP payment submission is Nov. 12. Checks are to be made out to South Amboy High School. Please indicate the name of each AP assessment on the note section of the check. Know that each AP exam is $94. All checks are to be hand delivered to Ms. Witte in the Guidance Department. Students are to register for AP exams through the College Board Website using their online account.
*The PSATs are coming on 10/16/19:10th grade students will be participating in the PSAT/NMSQT Assessment. This assessment serves as a practice test for the SAT that students have the option of taking their junior year as a graduation and college acceptance requirement. Know that the PSAT/NMSQT Assessment doesn’t count as an official SAT score as it’s only purpose is to provide students with exposure to the SAT. For any further information, please contact Mr. Gonsalves or Ms. Witte in the Guidance Department.
*8th Grade Cap and Gown Photos will be this Wednesday. We will also have retakes for other grades for those who missed having their picture taken.
*Parents visiting: we enjoy having parents visit our school. A reminder that entry is always through the main office (high school) entrance. This is also the case during student arrival and dismissal. Please ensure you only use these doors to gain entrance and check in through the main office.
