It is a mandatory exhibition for all students. Parents and families should plan on being there. Families, please plan on arranging transportation for your student to exhibition and back home afterward.
PSAT MONEY & FORMS
Please bring back the $17 PSAT fee and the PSAT form. Please turn in to Mrs. Howard or Mr. Schwartz (depending on which team you are on). In preparation for the PSAT, please have students get a good night’s sleep, have them eat a hearty breakfast, and remember that students cannot leave the classroom during PSATs.
SNACK DONATIONS
During PSATs, we like to give our students a snack during the break. If you are able to donate some snacks, please send them on Wednesday morning!

SLC SIGNUPS
Below is a link to our Fall Student Led Conference Schedule. They will be happening on October 8th, 9th, 10th, & 11th. Please note, you do NOT have access to edit this document. To sign up for a time, please email Carol at ccabrera@hightechhigh.org 3 times that work for you. Alternatively, you may highlight a square and put your student's name, and we will email you back a confirmation. In either case, you will receive a confirmation of your date and time for your SLC. The reason for not allowing editing access is that we have had instances in the past where names were accidentally deleted and then we had multiple families show up for an SLC. This way, we can monitor and be sure that your time is truly only your time!
