• Worthington Schools will be offering 10th and 11th grade students the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT at the district’s expense. The PSAT/NMSQT will be administered during a regular school day schedule on Tuesday, October 8. Individuals who participate in this test administration will miss regular classroom instructional time. The test will provide juniors with the opportunity to compete for recognition and scholarships through the National Merit Scholarship program and prepare all students to take the College Board’s SAT college readiness assessment, which is widely used for college admissions. The PSAT/NMSQT is paid for by the district, so it is FREE for all participating students. The link to register has been emailed to all students’ wscloud email address. The deadline for registration is September 10th at 3:20pm. Please note that there is a required Digital Readiness Check that will take place on September 25th during homeroom for all participating students. If you have any questions about the test, please talk to your school counselor or Mr. Thomas.
