To support our college-ready focus, on Friday, August 22nd Stern MASS will have a modified bell schedule, and classes will run from 7:45am – 1:30pm. Please note that this is an earlier start than most Fridays, so make sure your students are here by 7:30am, so they can be in their seats ready to learn by 7:45am. Juniors will stay after the final bell to take an SAT practice exam from 1:30 – 5:30pm. This practice test will provide us with baseline data for our SAT support program, helping us to ensure that we are providing the best opportunities possible for all our college-bound Titans. Parents of Juniors, please discuss this with your students and make sure that you agree on new pick-up procedures for this late release time. If your student takes the bus home, check the schedules together to ensure that he or she understands the new route.
