Junior High Girls Basketball Tryouts - Friday, Oct. 4th
Dear West Jefferson High School Sophomores,
Taking the PSAT is an important step in your high school journey, as it serves as both practice for the SAT and an opportunity to identify your academic strengths and areas for improvement. Performing well on the PSAT can open doors to scholarships, including the National Merit Scholarship, and it provides valuable experience for the types of questions and time management strategies you'll need for future standardized tests. By preparing thoroughly and approaching the PSAT with the right mindset, you're setting yourself up for success on both the SAT and in your college application process.
To help you get ready, the Bluebook app is already downloaded on your Chromebook! You can find it in the same location as the ISAT icon. Open the Bluebook app, and use the login information attached to this message to sign in. Once logged in, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your device properly for testing. After that, you will be able to access the official PSAT practice tests, which are designed to simulate the actual test experience. These practice tests will help you get comfortable with the format, work on timing, and build your confidence before test day. Take advantage of these resources to put forth your best effort on the PSAT and prepare yourself for future success!
The PSAT will take place on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the ALC gym. To perform your best, make sure you are prepared by getting a good night’s rest before the test and eating a healthy breakfast the morning of. Arrive on time, and bring your Chromebook fully charged along with any other essentials like pencils and an approved calculator. With the right preparation and mindset, you’ll be ready to do your best! Good luck, and we look forward to seeing you on test day!

This year's Hispanic Youth Leadership Summit (HYLS) will be on September 24, 2024 from 7:30am to 1:30pm at Idaho State University. For those who are not familiar with HYLS, this is an event that helps our Hispanic populations know their higher education and career opportunities in the State of Idaho. This will be the fourth year that College of Eastern Idaho (CEI) and Idaho State University (ISU) have hosted together. Even though the event is titled HYLS, this is open to any student wanting to know more about college opportunities. Last year, we hosted over 500 students, and we are hoping that more will participate. We are planning to take a bus to Pocatello and space is limited. Please sign up with Mr. Gemar ASAP.
