This Week@UCA October 19, 2018
Dear UCA Family,
As home leave comes to an end, we hope you had a restful couple of days. While some went home, others went to the Union College Soccer/Volleyball Tournament. Keep our athletes in your prayers as they finish up their last days at tournament. We are praying for you all to have safe travels, and we’ll see you on Monday!
Monday Morning Prayer Time
On Monday, October 22, we will meet in the lobby of the Administration Building at 8:00 a.m. for prayer. If you are on campus, please join us in praying for Phyllis Bretsch, Enoc Cadena and the sophomore boys.
PSAT
Juniors (and some Sophomores): The PSAT/NMSQT test is Wednesday, October 24 (school calendar correction). All Juniors take the PSAT.
Why take the PSAT?
*Score in the top 1% of the state on PSAT and SAT to be a National Merit Scholar that receives 100% tuition paid in the United States to any private or public university or college for four years.
*Practice for the SAT test, colleges will look at your highest SAT score and ACT scores and some accept PSAT scores.
*PSAT scores may be used for college applications to waive some class requirements
A maximum of 15 Sophomores may take the test provided (1) a parent email request is made to Julie.Hagele@ucaa.org, (2) student has a known track record of high academic ability, and (3) the $16 fee will be added to their bill. Sophomores would test as a practice run because they believe they could be a National Merit Scholar when they test their Junior year.
PSAT/NMSQT practice exams are available: www.collegeboard.org/psatpractice
