Dear Parents:
On Wednesday, October 23, we will be giving the PSAT 8/9 test on the middle school campus. The cost is $14.00 and is available to 8th grade students. The PSAT 8/9 allows students to practice and prepare for the SAT. It gives them an opportunity to experience timed tests since they tend to struggle with the time constraints of the SAT and ACT. In addition, the PSAT corresponds directly to the SAT, and with the results, you will receive information on how to continue to prepare for the SAT based on your student’s scores.
For students who want to practice the test beforehand, they can go to collegeboard.org;
select PSAT 8/9 drop down menu; then select prepare for the test. If you would like for your son or daughter to take the PSAT 8/9, please have him or her come by the counselor’s office to sign up by Oct 10. Please make checks payable to Mineola Middle School. Space is limited, so students should sign up soon. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Dudley at 903-569-5338.
Parents, Families and Friends: I would like to clarify our schedule on Fridays for lunch purposes. Typically our lunch times are 6th grade at 12:10 and 7th and 8th grade at 12:40. We occasionally have what we call a PLC schedule which allows us time to provide SEL lessons for our students and additional planning time for our teachers. In order to accomplish this, we combine our lunches to one lunch at 12:40. If you would like to come eat lunch with your student and are not sure what time we will be having lunch, please feel free to call our front office at 903.569.5338. We thank you and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Brittany Thompson
