Dear Parents and Guardians,

On Thursday, March 23, 2023, the Waterbury Public Schools will be administering the Digital SAT to all grade 11 students during the school day. The Waterbury Board of Education has arranged for our students to participate with no cost to the families in order to better prepare our students for college and career.  This is a tremendous opportunity for all students in grade 11. All students should arrive at their normal entry time and find an opportunity to have breakfast either at home and/or school.  Grade 11 students will enter their assigned testing location at 7:20 a.m. and testing will begin no later than 8:00 a.m. Late arrivals may miss directions and no extra time will be given. Students will not be admitted to the test room after 8:15 a.m. 

Students in grades 9, 10, and 12 are expected to arrive to school on time and be prepared to attend their classes.
