A required Digital Readiness Check for students who signed up for the PSAT/NMSQT will be held in the Main Gym on Wednesday, September 20th at the start of 2nd period. Any student taking the test will need to attend with a school-issued Chromebook. The check will take place during Homeroom and is expected to last about half an hour. Students will fill out some information about themselves and their college aspirations, make sure their device is able to run the digital PSAT/NMSQT, and take a test preview to get familiar with the test interface. Please make sure your Chromebook is fully charged before the check on Wednesday. If you do not have a school-issued device, there will be a Chromebook cart available.

Feeling thrifty? Got old dresses cluttering up your closet? TWHS Student Council is sponsoring a new idea: a “Formal Swap” before the upcoming Homecoming Dance. Next week, students and parents may drop off used formal wear items including homecoming dresses, dress shirts/ties, dress pants, or dress shoes. Collections will occur outside of Central Office before school and during lunch. Each item donated will be exchanged for a Swap Ticket to be exchanged for a different item. The Swap will take place once all donations are in at school on Monday, October 2.
