SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2018 | 5A COLLEGE from page 1A At this time, more than 120 upperclassmen have elected to take the SAT on Oct. 10, which consists of 45 juniors and 75 seniors. That is nearly four times the number of students we can test on our December testing day, which we will also be offering this year as well. Moreover, it is nearly double the number of junior students who take the SAT during their junior year. As for seniors, that equates to nearly 77 percent of the entire senior class, which is truly re- markable. Why take the PSAT or SAT? Well, not only does it give students the experience of taking a standardized test, but both assessments allow stu- dents an additional opportuni- ty to pass their state summative benchmarks for the Smarter Balanced testing. Graduating students will need to take a formalized national assess- ment, like the SAT, for college entrance and, as mentioned previously; may allow students to usurp the need to take place- ment tests for writing, reading or mathematics. Many scholarships and grant programs inquire what a stu- dent’s SAT scores are in or- der to qualify for additional financial aid. Lastly, there is a definite link between students taking the PSAT/SAT and the school’s overall graduation per- formance. The more students are ex- posed to these kinds of testing requirements, the better pre- pared they are for their futures in school, the work force or the armed forces. How is this going to work you might ask? All SAT tests, and PSAT tests, will be free for students to take thanks to Mea- sure 98 dollars. Oct. 10 will also be an ear- ly release day, as students will have the morning and early afternoon to test without inter- ruption. Both SAT and PSAT will run a similar time frame, which allows for maximum testing time. Also, by testing in the class- rooms students are accustomed to, the testing environment is nearly idea. Lunch will be provided af- ter testing, along with busing home once the day has con- cluded at 1:30 p.m. Students who are not test- ing will be separated into spe- cific study groups to work on homework and current class assignments, which allows them a great amount of time to either catch up or in some cases progress ahead. When the day is over, nearly 225 high school students will have taken anoth- er step closer to attending col- lege and achieving their career goals. Siuslaw High School is an institution built upon the idea that students require a college and career mindset in order to reach their potentials. Ev- ery year, the district strives to increase each student’s access to academic supports and as- sessment services. It is with the hope that we can continue to build upon the successes of College Board day while si- multaneously exploring other avenues of possible college and career assistance. With College Board Day, Siuslaw High School takes an- other step closer to supporting our students in their education and employment aspiration. Unitarians discuss school bond measure has decided to ask voters to consider a facilities improve- ment bond and will detail the elements of the proposed projects. Mann-Heintz is in her fourth year on the school board and has been involved throughout the facilities as- sessment and decision-mak- ing process. FUUF, located at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road, is wheelchair accessible. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the questions that come up during each wor- ship service. For more information, visit www.florenceuuf.org. in the area and bring our com- munity together to share ideas about what they’d like to see happen with parks and rec in the future.” Additionally, Sarles hopes that community members who participate in activities during Play Day will think of other ways to utilize the parks in the area in the future. “We want ideas from every- one, from kids to senior adults. We’ve sent home flyers with Siuslaw students to encourage them to draw or write a story about their ideal parks and rec facilities and activities. We’ll have a drawing of the entries, award some prizes and share some of them on our Facebook page and website. The flyer is also available at RiverCal.org/ play for those who didn’t get one at school,” she said. Outdoor events taking place during Play Day include four pickleball clinics at Rolling Dunes Park, located on 35th Street, given by John Griffin, U.S. Pickleball Association ambassador. Siuslaw Youth Soccer Asso- ciation will be holding multi- ple soccer games from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Miller Park, 1651 18th St. From noon to 2 p.m. there will be a Jenga building event at the park.

There’s a lot we can do if we all work together.” Siuslaw Play Day events will wrap up with Vision vol- unteers handing out free gin- gerbread cookies to attendees from noon to 2 p.m. at Miller Park.
