    Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):

     

    On Thursday, October 24, 2024, and Friday, October 25, 2024, Cass Technical High School will be administering Mandatory District Exams to all 9th,  10th, and 11th grade students, College Boards Digital PSAT 9 and PSAT/NMSQT.  The exams measure what students know and have mastered according to the high school content standards, prepare them for State Testing in the Spring, and allow 11th graders an opportunity to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test; information regarding this scholarship can be found at https://www.nationalmerit.org/.

     

    During the administration of this exam period, students should adhere to the schedule below. Students who are testing must arrive at school at 7:30 am and report to their assigned testing room. Testing rooms will close at 8:00 am.  Late students will not be admitted to their assigned testing room.   We encourage all testing students to get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast.
