  1. Students WILL graduate from high school even if they DON\u2019T earn the AICE Diploma Award<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. <\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i>Bright Futures<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0 Community Service hours required \u2013 100 hours to earn the Florida Academic Scholars Award level (FAS \u2013 top award level).\u00a0 If a student earns the AICE Diploma Award, and they have LOGGED at least 100 community service hours, they automatically qualify for the FAS and Bright Futures will waive the SAT\/ACT score requirement AND the GPA requirement!!!!<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. <\/i><\/b>Fall Exam Session<\/span><\/b> \u2013 only those 11th<\/sup> grade students who did not pass an AICE level exam (not a Pre-AICE) during the Spring 2021 Exam session and wishes to re-take it.\u00a0 Students need to bring an Exam Letter home and bring it back with a parent signature and payment (or it\u2019s attached to this email).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. <\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i>NEW WAY TO PAY<\/span><\/b> \u2013 Re-take Exam fees can now be paid online by going to www.schoolpay.com<\/a> !!<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. <\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i>PSAT for Juniors<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0 National Merit Scholarship Eligibility is pulled from Juniors who take the PSAT (this is the one they all took last year).\u00a0 SAHS automatically gives the PSAT to 10th<\/sup> graders, and 11th<\/sup> graders can take it by paying the $15.00 exam fee to Ms. Raimann or Ms. Galloza.\u00a0 The PSAT will be on Oct. 13th<\/sup>, so watch for information re: paying to take it within the next couple of weeks.\u00a0 National Merit Scholars are a BIG DEAL to colleges and they will come looking for the student \u2013 offering LOTS OF MONEY!!\u00a0 So if you feel you can do really well on the PSAT \u2013 it\u2019s WELL worth the $15!!<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. <\/i><\/b>9 weeks grade conferences<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0 I will run grades after the 1st<\/sup> 9th<\/sup> weeks.\u00a0 Any student who has 3 or more C\u2019s will receive a pass to come & meet with me to discuss grades, what they\u2019re doing to improve, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. <\/i><\/b>AICE Student Tutors<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0 Students who are interested in providing tutoring to other AICE students gave me their name\/contact info. by subject.\u00a0 As I get requests for tutoring I will provide the appropriate subject list to the student and they will contact the AICE student Tutor to arrange a date\/time\/place for the tutoring.\u00a0 Student tutors will get community service hours for helping!!!\u00a0 Please ask your student if they signed up for this \u2013 and let me know if you do NOT want your student to be a tutor.\u00a0 Please keep in mind that non-AICE students will use this tutor list too.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. <\/i><\/b>\u00a0SAT\/ACT:\u00a0 ALL JUNIORS MUST TAKE AT LEAST ONE SAT AND\/OR ACT DURING THIS SCHOOL YEAR!!!!\u00a0 <\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0I handed out the SAT\/ACT schedule \u2013 students register for these exams directly on the SAT & ACT websites<\/span><\/i> and if the student qualifies for free or reduced lunch, they are eligible for up to 2 fee waivers for each test!!\u00a0 Please contact me for waivers.\u00a0 If a student does not take at least one of these tests this year, they will be in danger of missing a college application deadline at the beginning of their senior year!!<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. <\/i><\/b>Study help for SAT\/ACT is available through the respective websites or students can access an online SAT prep course through Khan Academy who has partnered with SAT, offering a FREE online SAT Prep course at http:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/<\/a>!!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
