Hello Alta High Community!
It’s Homecoming Week! We love this time of year, as we get to welcome back our beloved Hawk alumni for not only our Homecoming football game, but also our Assembly and more! Be sure to join in on the fun, attend our events, and participate in the themed dress up days!
✔PSAT Information
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test is a great tool for students considering college. The PSAT/NMSQT measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills and writing skills. It is also taken to enter the competition for National Merit Scholar scholarships (11th graders) and to help prepare for the SAT. The 2025 PSAT will be administered on Thursday, October 30th. Students participating in this exam will be excused from their morning classes. Exam registration and payment will take place online beginning on August 18th. Students will register and pay at: www.totalregistration.net/PSAT/450402
The cost for the PSAT will remain the same this year at $20 per exam. Students with an accommodation plan on file with Alta (504/IEP) must register/pay and complete the consent document by September 5th in order to request accommodation approval from College Board. Please see Dr. Jensen for a consent document. The registration and payment deadline are Friday, September 26th. A $5 late fee will begin on Monday, September 22nd. There are a limited number of spaces available, so please don’t wait until the last minute. Please note that the PSAT test will be given in digital format. College Board no longer allows paper testing of the PSAT NMSQT. Students will need to bring a district issued, fully charged Chromebook to the exam. Please contact Dr. Jodene Jensen, jodene.jensen@canyonsdistrict.org with questions.
