Here's information about a New York Times contest on the personal narrative: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/02/learning/our-2nd-annual-personal-narrative-writing-contest.html
To my 10th-grade Students:
Here's an update from the Guidance Department for anyone interested in PSATs/SATs/ACTs....
The Saturday SATs scheduled for 10/3 and 11/7 will be cancelled, as will the ACT scheduled for 10/24. This is consistent with what other local districts have done.
To help our students who are navigating the college application process, a School Day SAT is being offered. Because of Covid, this test is open only to Abington seniors, though, and will run on Wednesday, 10/14/2020. Testing will run at the Junior High in classrooms that meet social distancing guidelines, with no more than 10-12 students per test room.
10/14 was originally scheduled as the date the PSAT would be administered to 10th and 11th grade students. The PSAT date has been postponed until Tuesday, 1/26/2021. More information will be shared at a later time.
I will share more information about PSATs/SATs/ACTs in the coming weeks and months as I hear more information about them.
Ms. Boland
