*Students with Approved Accommodations

Students who have College Board-approved accommodations received an email from Ms. Huguenin to confirm their accommodations and will test on October 7 or 8 for the SAT in P104 or P105, not in the Aux Gym. Please note: Having a current 504, IEP, or IHP does not guarantee accommodation(s) on the SAT. A separate request for testing accommodation(s) must be made directly to the College Board, either by your case manager if you have an IEP, or your counselor if you have a 504 or IHP.

Make-Up SAT Exam

There will be a make-up exam opportunity for the SAT. Date and time to be determined based on need. Make-ups will be limited, so please contact Katie Huguenin; kwhuguenin@seattleschools.org if you want to be added to the make-up list.


PSAT/SAT Volunteers Needed Oct 5-8

Ballard is seeking SPS-approved parent volunteers to check in students for PSAT/SAT Testing from Oct 5-8. The duties will include helping the approximately 120 students with ID check-in, finding their seats, and maintaining the flow in the Aux Gym. Please check into the main office when you arrive and then head to the Aux gym. Sign up TODAY. 

If you’re not already an approved volunteer, there is still time to get registered. Review the process and then apply. For PSAT/SAT you’ll be a Tier-1 volunteer and invited by Katie Huguenin kwhuguenin@seattleschools.org. After you’re approved, sign up for a shift. Thanks for your support. If you have questions, reach out to volunteer@ballardhighptsa.org
