SAT School Day For 11th Graders Approaching
School Day SAT will be Tuesday, March 26. All juniors will be taking the SAT test on this date. One way that students can meet the College and Career Readiness graduation requirement for math and reading is to reach benchmark on those areas of the SAT. We are offering preparatory SAT courses through the online platform Edgenuity. Students can enroll in these courses by logging onto Edgenuity through Classlink. If they hit the plus sign (+) and select enroll, two courses will be available. The course titles are EHHS SAT Prep Reading and SAT Math Prep. Further practice opportunities are also available on Khan Academy.
Community Service Opportunity - STEM Competition
The middle school STEM competition is at EHHS on the night of March 14th. Any student interested in helping after school to set up, in the evening during the competition, or both should contact Mrs. Pompano asap. (mpompano@east-haven.k12.ct.us or Rm S322)
