On Tuesday, March 12th at 7 PM, the PTO will be hosting a live virtual presentation on the differences between the SAT and the ACT. 
  • SAT vs. ACT, how they differ and how to choose
  • Components of a good Test Prep Plan
  • Preparing for these tests
  • Should I apply test optional?

The goals of this presention are: to reduce anxiety, increase clarity, and impart confidence to families about the college admissions testing process. Additionally, the discussion will cover how schools are starting to go back to requiring testing and how that might impact your student.

 

Below is a Zoom link for the presentation: https://klschools.zoom.us/j/96637642350?pwd=VmNDeXJoUk1ZNm9Fd0RpenRmaVZuUT09

Volunteers Needed!

 

We are looking for a few people to help put together a Winter Social for March 9th!  You and/or a team of your friends would need to pull together a committee to book a DJ, organize sales of tickets, coordinate a decorating committee etc. With the success of Homecoming we do see this on a smaller scale!
 
The countdown is on….Senior Week will be here before we know it. We are looking for volunteers to chair the Senior Week committee. This entails putting together activities for the Seniors during the week of 4/22-4/26 and coordinating two teams, one to handle the Pancake Breakfast, the other to handle the Senior BBQ both to be held on Senior Seminar Day 5/23!
 
Teacher Appreciation Week – Volunteers are needed to chair the committee and assist with activities still to be determined, during the week of 5/6-5/10!

 

 

Our events have had a great response so far this year, please help us to finish the year strong.  If you are interested in helping with any or all of these events please email the PTO at johnjayhspto@gmail.com
