    IMPORTANT MESSAGES FOR STUDENTS and PARENTS:
    Juniors and seniors must take the SAT if they are planning to attend a four-year university/college.  Per SAT guidelines, there is an essay component, which must be completed within 25 minutes.  This means that students will only have 25 minutes to read the prompt, brainstorm and compose a well-developed and intelligible essay.  Because college students are expected to write timed essays, we will be preparing students for this type of composition throughout the year.  
     
    Juniors will also take the EAP in March.  This writing test is part of the CST.  We will continue to work on this type of an essay.

    All About Me Presentation   This presentation is designed to help you work towards completing your Senior Exit Interview, which is a new graduation requirement for all MVUSD students.  For my class, you will create a Prezi presentation or a Google Apps presentation that you will use during your individual 4-6 minute presentation.  I suggest you keep your presentation and add to it during your senior year as you continue to develop and complete this graduation requirement.   Students complete the official Senior Exit Interview during their senior year.
