This October, both the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT School Day will be administered in a digital format. Some testing accommodations are administered differently for digital tests than for paper/pencil tests. See information about accommodations for students with disabilities. 

PSAT/NMSQT and SAT School Day

The district will offer access to the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) and SAT School Day for 10th through 12th grade students at no cost to families. Exams will be held at each high school on Wednesday, October 9
