Seventh Grade Day
“Thinking Ahead To High School”
Seventh Grade Workshop and Practice Test
“Thinking Ahead To High School”
Date: April 25, 2009
Time: 8:00 a.m. to noon
Place : Saint Mary’s Campus
Many seventh graders and their families are already thinking ahead to high school. All students could benefit from this practice test, particularly those students that experience worry, anxiety, and nervousness surrounding the high school application and testing process. As partners in education with local elementary and middle schools, Saint Mary’s would like to offer seventh grade students a morning program of support.
On Saturday, April 25, 2009, Saint Mary’s will sponsor an program for seventh grade students to participate in an on-campus workshop from
8am to noon. Students will briefly review testing strategies and then put those strategies “to the test” by way of a standardized exam, designed for seventh graders, with questions and a format similar to the High School Placement Exam HSPT®.Results of the exam will be mailed home to families in May as a tool for them to assess their child’s personal strengths and areas for growth. The results will include academic suggestions from Saint Mary’s for improvement in reading, writing, and mathematics, if needed. Test results are strictly confidential and are not sent to the student’s school or kept at Saint Mary’s
Thank you for your interest in the Seventh Grade Workshop and partnering with us to provide a day of support for your child. Many past participants of this workshop have told us that this experience made their high school testing experience easier and less stressful. We hope that you take advantage of this opportunity.
