Principal's Update


Hello Matador Families,
9th and 10th graders will be taking their first step toward a great college or career. 
We will be giving the PSAT to all Freshmen and Sophomores on campus this Wednesday, October 11th
Our collaboration day has been moved to Wednesday to accommodate testing. Monday will become an "odd" block day.
The PSAT is a test that will help educators and students figure out what students need to work on most so that they are ready for college when they graduate from high school.
The benefits of taking the PSAT include:
  • The PSAT establishes a baseline measurement of college and career readiness.
  • The PSAT tests the same skills and knowledge as the SAT, in a way that makes sense for each grade level.
  • Personalized practice on Khan Academy® gives students the opportunity to upload their test results to receive targeted learning plans that students can use to learn more about and practice the skills they need to improve. 
  • The score reports will give students comprehensive, personalized feedback on test performance, allowing students to see which questions were answered incorrectly and which academic skills they should work to improve.
  • Information on college majors and career exploration are offered by the College Board and RoadtripNation. 
For more information on the PSAT, visit the websites below.

The ASVAB will be held on October 16, 2017

 
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is part of a Career Exploration Program designed to help students learn more about themselves and the world of work, explore occupations in line with their interests and skills and develop an effective strategy to realize their career goals.  Results of the aptitude test and the interest inventory enable students to evaluate their skills, estimate their performance in academic and vocational endeavors and identify potentially satisfying careers.  
The ASVAB will be held on October 16, 2017 from 8 am to noon in Room 356.  A Parent/Guardian Request for Student Participation form must be signed prior to the test date and is available by contacting Mrs. Aragon in the Guidance Office at laragon@guhsd.net or by calling (619) 667-6441.  A follow up and evaluation of the ASVAB is also included after October 16th.
