Hello Ravens,

Shout-out to Latinos in Action (Latinx Leadership) and Leadership Foundations (9th Grade Leadership) for organizing another inspiring "Self-Love Week!"  Also, thank you to our Mental Health Team and Student Ambassadors for another successful Wellness Week. 

Next Tuesday is the start of Lunar New Year celebrations and the beginning of Ramadan. To all of our South students, staff, and community who celebrate and practice, Ramadan Kareem and 马年快乐！

Enjoy your three day weekend, Ravens! 

Go Ravens!

Support for Seniors 

Counselors will be in contact with any senior who needs help with completing ICAP or taking the Accuplacer in order to meet competency in English and/or math, and those students can come into the counseling center on March 3rd to receive support.

SAT Practice Test for Freshmen, Sophomores,  and Juniors

On March 3rd all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will take a PSAT/SAT practice exam.  The purpose of this test is to encourage students to practice the test taking strategies that they have been learning in their classes and to identify areas of strength and growth prior to taking the official SAT in April. In order to minimize lost instructional time, we will be completing all testing in one day, with 9th and 10th graders testing in the morning and 11th graders testing in the afternoon.  

All 9th graders and 10th graders need to report to school on Tuesday, March 3rd  by 8:15 to take the practice test.  

All 11th graders need to report to school on Tuesday, March 3rd by 11:30 to take the practice test. 

All students need a school-issued Chromebook and charger in order to take the practice test. Students who haven’t been issued a school-provided Chromebook can check one out from library 300 on March 3rd. 

Opt-Outs

If you would like to opt your student out of the PSAT/SAT practice test, please email Natalie Blake at nblake@dpsk12.net. If students are not opted-out of the practice test, they  are expected to be in the building during their scheduled testing time on March 3rd. Please note that opting your student out of the practice test does not opt them out of the official PSAT/SAT that will take place in April. 

Princeton Review Resources

In addition to taking a school-wide SAT practice test in March, all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students have access to the Princeton Review website, which provides them with SAT tutorials, practice drills, and full length practice tests.  Students can access this website both at school and at home. Follow these step by step directions to get logged into Princeton Review and access the practice materials. 

Free SAT Preparation Classes

We are hosting free SAT prep classes for Juniors at South High School every Saturday from 9:00-12:00. The remaining sessions are February 14th, February 21st, February 28th, and March 7th. Each session prioritizes a different highly tested concept for English and Mathematics. We hope to see you Junior there.
