PSAT/NMSQT & SAT School Day
Testing and Accommodations Notification for Parents of Rising 10th, 11th, and 12th Grade Students
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is pleased to announce plans to offer the Preliminary SAT (PSAT)/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) to students in grades 10-11 on October 12, 2022. Additionally, we are offering the SAT School Day to students in grade 12.
Students with disabilities who have testing accommodations documented in a 504 Plan or an individualized education program (IEP) may be eligible for testing accommodations on the PSAT/NMSQT or SAT for 12th graders. The College Board must approve a formal request for each student. If the student already has College Board accommodations approved from a previous PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, SAT, or AP test, then no further action is needed. Once instated, accommodations remain in place for all College Board testing.
The Accommodations Process for College Board Testing webpage provides instructions on how to request College Board testing accommodations, including the required input and consent forms (Enclosures 2-3). To request new or amended College Board accommodations for the October test, return the input and consent forms to the school by August 9, 2022. When returning forms, deliver to:
ATTN: Bill McGreevy
Falls Church High School
7521 Jaguar Trail
Falls Church, VA 22046
OR wcmcgreevy@fcps.edu
If you have questions about College Board testing accommodations for the PSAT/NMSQT, contact us at 703-207-4000. We will share more specifics about the October 12 PSAT/NMSQT testing opportunity at the beginning of the school year.
As we begin to look ahead to the 2022-23 school year, we encourage everyone to Be Wise, Immunize! Immunizations are required for public school entry and help keep children protected from many diseases. Many children missed their well check-ups and their recommended childhood immunizations during recent years of disruptions from COVID-19. It is critical to catch up now to keep children healthy and protect them from serious diseases.
We encourage you to check with your healthcare provider to make sure your child is up to date on required immunizations for the 2022-23 school year as soon as possible. If your child needs a vaccine to complete their records, you can make an appointment with your healthcare provider or visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a schedule of child immunization clinics.
Remember to request documentation of your child’s immunizations and bring that to Falls Church HS as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact us at 703-207-4000.
