[BHS Etree] ADMIN: December 5th SAT CANCELLED

[BHS Etree]

any questions.


Dear Students,


We are writing to inform you that the SAT at Berkeley High School on
December 5 is cancelled. All students registered for this exam will receive
notifications from the College Board via email, including information about
their full refund. We received feedback from families who requested earlier
notification whenever possible, so we are writing now so that students can
call the College Board to sign up for later test dates.



What will happen with other SAT and ACT exams? We will keep you informed if
we need to cancel other exams in the future.

Do I need the SAT or ACT for my college applications? Most colleges and
universities have decided to make the SAT and ACT optional for students
applying to attend school in '21-'22. Please check here
<https://www.fairtest.org/university/optional/state> for regular updates on
colleges that are test-optional; if a college is not on the list, students
should search online to see the most current admissions information.

What should I do if I still want to take the SAT? At this point, students
can still call College Board to sign up for future SAT dates that still
have availability; we encourage you to do so quickly, as College Board does
not allow us to limit sign-ups to Berkeley High students. If BHS is full,
we suggest you sign-up to test at other locations. You can also look here
<https://pages.collegeboard.org/sat-covid-19-updates> for SAT COVID-19
updates from College Board.

If you have additional questions, please contact Leah Katz, interim VP over
testing, at leahkatz at berkeley.net and Benette Williams, SAT/ACT/PSAT
Coordinator, at benettewilliams at berkeley.net.

We understand that this may cause a great deal of stress and sincerely
apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding as we
continue to navigate this unprecedented time together.



Take care and stay safe,
