ATTENTION JUNIORS: PERT – Postsecondary Education Readiness Test Juniors will be required to take the PERT this 2011-2012 school year. This is a computer – based test aimed at measuring your child’s college readiness. The test scores will impact which courses your student will need to take during his/her 12th grade year. Guidance has notified your child with an official letter through their English class if they are required to take the PERT (not all juniors are required to test). A sample of the letter of notification is available on our website at http://blake.mysdhc.org/guid for your review. Testing is proposed to take place in mid May. Your student has an opportunity to take practice tests for math, reading and writing at any time online at https://college.measuredsuccess.com. There’s also a study guide available at http://www.fldoe.org/schools/pdf/PERT-StudentStudyGuide.pdf , which is strongly recommended. You may contact Mrs. Scriven in Guidance if you have questions about the PERT.

Hillsborough County Schedule Change Policy Valid reasons for a schedule change may include: counselor error, computer error, failing a required course, passing a course in summer school or night school, lacking a graduation requirement, and lacking the proper prerequisite. Elective changes most often cannot be honored due to teacher unit allocation. Schedule change requests will NOT be considered for the purpose of teacher preference. A change request may require the entire schedule to be altered to meet the request you have made. Including different teachers and different class periods. Once a schedule has been changed, it cannot be
changed back again to the original schedule. The student is responsible for all class work from the beginning of the semester, regardless of the date the student entered the class. Failure to complete summer reading does not constitute a valid reason for a schedule change. After the 15th day of the semester, all schedule change requests must be approved by the Assistant Principal for Curriculum, department head, and guidance counselor.
