Register now for PSAT, NEDT tests Space is filling rapidly for our standardized tests in October. NEDT's will takefplace on October 7th and PSAT (deadline Oct. 5). Register in Guidance for both tests and make checks payable to Dal- las High School. When you sign up with pay- ment for the PSAT., you will re- ceive a PSATStudent Bulletin which is very helpful in preparing for the test. The PSAT/NMSQU (preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is often a student's first step on the road to college. By taking the PSAT/ NMSQT, you can: practice for SAT, enter scholarship eom- petitions, ask colleges to send you info and find out if you have the academic skills to succeed in col- lege. Use the Student Bulletin. Sepa- rate the three sections of the PSAT/NMSQT Student Bulletin: hints and tips, a comprehensive list of scholarships, and one com- plete practice test. Give your par- ents the scholarship section. Spend at least 30 minutes study- ing the test-taking tips and sample questions, then a few minutes learning how to complete your answer sheet. Take the practice PSAT/NMSQTtomakesureyou're . ‘ready for the real one. Think about what you like to do and do well, then find out what careers let you use those skills: doctor, musician, banker, athlete. Visit places where you might like to work and talk to people whose careers look interesting. A question received last week was regarding "Rolling Admis- sion." Let's cover the three kinds of admission: 1) Selective: These colleges have firm deadlines. THey let all of their applicants know their fate in late March or early April. All successful applicants have until May 1 to decide. After May 1, these schools fill unclaimed places by taking names of a wait list. 2) Rolling Admission: These colleges accept and reject appli- ' cants until their freshman classes are full. They ususally publish a date at which they begin consid- ering application. If they publish a deadline, it's the date that they expect to be full. But it could happen earlier. You'll know how you fair earlier at a rolling admis- sion school, but that's no reason to. cheese it over a selective col- lege. : 3) Open Admission: These colleges take anyone with a high school diploma or its equivlent until classes begin or space. is gone. Almost all two-year colleges are open admission. A special thankyou to the PTSO Bake Sale on Back to School Night.

J L-J learns bus safety The Pennsylvania State Police paid a visit to the students of Lehman-Jackson Elementary recently. State Trooper Joe Lakkis stopped by and helped the PTA conduct a bus safety program for all children in kindergarten through 6th grade. Age appropriate videos were shown to the students followed by a discussion of bus safety rules. Mr. Lakkis took all students on board a bus and discussed bus safety zones as well as proper behavior for boarding, riding and exiting the school bus safely. Older students had a lesson in emergency exits and were shown how to “buddy up” to the younger students who may need extra help in an emergency. PTA Health and Safety Commitee Chairpersons for this event are Andrea Mitkus and Victoria Grzyboski. L-J PTA fundraiser is in full swing The annual fund raiser for the Lehman-Jackson PTA has begun.
