Our yearbook has subscribed to a new program that allows anyone to be a potential contributor to the photography of our yearbook. Go to www.hjeshare.com and follow the instructions. Our school code is 7011879. The photos need to be at least 6 mgs for quality sake. Contact Mr. Groom if you have any questions: RW.Groom@mnps.org
Eshare will be open for contributions until February. (This is a great way to submit senior baby pictures, if your child missed the deadline. We should be finished with those pages by the Monday, November 9, so you still have a little time.)

SAT Exam
The SAT will be given this Saturday, November 7. Those students who have registered please be at your test site by 7:30am with two #2 pencils (not mechanical), a calculator and batteries if the calculator uses batteries, and most important, a picture ID and your admission ticket. If you do not have your admission ticket you need to sign on to your SAT web account at www.collegeboard.com and print your ticket before test day.

Reminders for SAT this Saturday - Words of Wisdom from the Counseling Office
On Test Day
Give yourself plenty of time to get to the test center. Consider traffic, weather conditions, flat tires, and anything else that could slow you down.

Be sure to test at the center indicated on your Admission Ticket. Even if you're scheduled to test at a center that was not your first choice, you are only guaranteed admission to the test center listed on your Admission Ticket. Seating is very limited at other test centers.

Use breaks to eat or drink any snacks you have brought with you. You will have several breaks during the test. Use them to relax and eat a snack, so you can stay focused.

Make sure you use a No. 2 pencil. You must fill in the entire circle darkly and completely. If you change your response, erase it as completely as possible. It is very important that you follow these instructions when filling out your answer sheet.

Pace yourself during the test. Remember, each question counts the same. If you find yourself spending too much time on one question, move on to the next question.
