Attention, sophomore parents: If you have any concerns about your child taking the SAT, fear no more. CHS is offering a year-long SAT Prep course for school year 2017-2018. Your child will receive instruction every day for the SAT at no cost to you and no additional time commitment to your child's busy schedule. Students enrolled in this course will rotate between math and English instruction aimed at developing strategies and practicing for the SAT. Students often ask, "How can I improve my SAT score?" The answer is simple: If you want to improve at anything, you have to practice. This way, students will receive daily instruction that helps them develop and hone the skills necessary for success on the SAT. If this is a course that you would like your child to enroll in, have him/her choose course #1603: SAT Prep Course when scheduling.
