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.

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.

door activity on Play Day, with

Sarles is hopeful that the
first Siuslaw vision Play Day
will be a chance for commu-
nity members to take a few
hours, get outside and have a
good time.
“Pack your own picnic and
meet a new friend or bring
some sports equipment and
challenge your neighbors to
a friendly pick-up soccer or
basketball game,” she said.
“We’re also looking for com-
munity members who have a
passion for parks and rec and
want to help bring more op-
portunities to the area. We’d
love to add some new voic-
es and faces to our initiative
teams. 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.
A short survey will be
available, in digital and paper
form, to gather input from
participants about what pro-
grams and facilities are de-
sired for parks and recreation
services in the region.
