Lake Fenton High School

Hello Lake Fenton Families,

This newsletter references important details about our upcoming state testing schedule in April. We want to make sure Juniors (and any Seniors that missed it in the Fall) have time to prepare for the important SAT test.

• If you have a Junior, please complete the Spring State Testing Form (also available at the link below) to sign up for a practice test session available on Friday, March 5, 2021. They also have an opportunity to attend SAT practice tutorial sessions after school leading up to the SAT. Read on for dates and details.

• If you have an interested Senior that did not particpate in the SAT last Fall, please have them complete the Spring State Testing Form (also available at the link below) to sign up for the SAT on Tuesday, April 13, 2021. This is NOT required for Seniors.

The deadline to apply for BOTH of these is Monday, March 1st.

Finally, I have included a Senior Section with important details and deadlines for Seniors as we round out the second half of this school year. Please read on to stay in the know!

Proud to be Blue,

Kate VanHouten Ed. S
