Hi, Juniors!
If you haven't yet taken either the SAT or the ACT, now's your chance to register for one of the following tests:
SAT I or SAT Subject Tests - May 4th (Deadline April 5th)
SAT I or SAT Subject Tests - June 1st (Deadline May 2nd)
ACT - June 8th (Deadline May 3rd)
You can register for the tests at the links below. Remember to send your test scores using all of the available codes at the time you register. If you wait until later to send your scores, you will have to pay for each one you have to send individually.
There are two tricks to use when sending scores:
You can use the code 3594 to send your scores to all of the CSU and Cal Poly schools. In addition, if you send your scores to one UC school, like UCLA or UCSD, your scores will be sent to all UC schools. So with two codes, you have sent your scores to all the CSU, Cal Poly, and UC schools. Make sure you use your additional codes on private or out-of-state colleges and universitites.
If you receive free or reduced lunch or are part of the Cal-SOAP, AVID, or Upward Bound program, please fill out the fee waiver application below and bring it to me in the College and Career Center BEFORE you complete either the SAT or ACT application online.
Please let me know if you have any questions about registering for the SAT or the ACT.

Reminder: Class of 2014 Pledge
In September of 2010, Mr. Estes visited every 9th grade English class of the Class of 2014 students. He delivered a pledge to the students, which was to be taken home, signed, and returned in order to receive a Class of 2014 T-Shirt. Well, hundreds of students and their parents signed the pledge and received their T-Shirt. In case you missed out on the pledge, I am attaching a copy of what was passed out at that time. There's only a few 2XL shirts left, but it's not about the T-Shirt, it's about taking care of your business! Are you still living up to the Pledge? Contact or see Mr. Estes for details.
