Counselor
•PSAT and SAT testing is coming up in April. It is important for students to utilize Khan Academy and College Board
for testing preparation. Teachers are preparing students for testing in the classroom, and students are encouraged to
utilize these resources outside of school. If your student is unable to log into College Board or has forgotten their
username and password, please call 866-315-6068.
•Thank you to those who attended our Family and Student Information Night. If your sophomore or junior is
interested in taking dual enrollment classes or attending Van Buren Tech next school year, they need to speak with
Miss Newell. Students must meet the GPA requirements, be on track to graduate, and have good attendance to be
considered.
Marcellus High School has partnered with Parchment to order and send your transcript securely. Please click on the Order Records button to request a high school transcript from Parchment.
