COUNSELING INFO
Attention all Sophomores and Juniors: The PSAT/NMSQT® is an OPTIONAL test that will be offered to 10th and 11th graders at Oak Ridge High School on Wednesday, October 14th at 7:50 a.m. This date is set by PSAT/CollegeBoard. Because Wednesday is a virtual learning day, students that register for the PSAT will be responsible for arranging transportation to and from school on that day. The test should end around 1:00 p.m.
Registration will be conducted on four occasions during lunch: September 1st, September 3rd, September 8th and September 10th. A registration table will be set up on these days in the main lobby near the Food Court. Students can stop by to register. The cost is $17. Students should bring a check in the amount of $17 made out to Oak Ridge High School with the student’s name and PSAT in the subject line. Cash will also be accepted (exact change preferred) but checks are preferred. No refunds are available if you do not take the test. A limited number of exams are available. Please sign-up by the September 10th deadline. (F, M, – Tu, Th – 9/10) – B. Ottinger

Seniors now have the option to reserve their own parking space and personalize it! This tradition is aimed to display the school pride and the uniqueness of the individual through positive and meaningful artwork. This senior perk is optional and will cost $40 to reserve a parking spot for the year! Our school’s culture is built on the various personalities of our school, so let’s make it a wildcat tradition to display our school’s creativity and diversity and transform the lot! Applications will be available starting Tuesday with Ms. Sobek, Ms. Denisar, Alyssa Naudin, Mily Vidal, Adam Herron, and Marton Pientler-Krivan! Application collections will be Sept 14-18 in the morning and during lunch in front of the library. (9/8, 9/10-9/11) – D. Sobek
The tradition continues. It’s time for the Senior Shirt Design Contest—the shirt that every senior gets to sign. Please submit your designs for the Class of 2021 Senior Shirt to Mrs. Ledden in Room CS347 by Friday, September 25. You do not have to be a senior to submit designs for the shirt—open to all grade levels. We need a front design and a back design. Each of these designs is a separate “contest”. Prizes for each contest are as follows: Front – $25; Back – $25. (That’s $50 if you win both!)
Be sure to incorporate ORHS, Seniors, and Class of 2021 into your drawings. Place your name and first period teacher’s name on the back of each design entry. Entries must be original work and if selected, will become the property of Oak Ridge High School. (Selection committee reserves the right to combine two or more designs in which case each person will receive prize money.) (9/10-9/15) – T. Ledden
