Dear Parents and Guardians,
Frederick High School would like to make you aware of our plans for the Nov. 2nd PLC -Late Start Day. FHS will be hosting a College and Career Preparation Day.
Instead of attending regular classes on this day, all 9th and 10th grade students will be taking a practice PSAT exam. All 11th grade students will be taking a practice SAT exam. The SAT is the college entrance exam that is required by the state of Colorado. The formal exam will be proctored in April. These practice exams not only give the students exposure to the format and styles of questions, but it will provide the students, parents, and teachers with valuable data on student progress. Teachers will use this data to supplement their daily instruction to further develop student proficiency and mastery .
Seniors will be attending four sessions throughout the day. These sessions are designed to help students with their post-secondary planning. Some of the topics include but are not limited to:
- College application process
- Resume building
- College essay writing
