Upcoming Events
PSAT / NMSQT Exam
Thursday, October 9th
On Thursday, October 9th, we will administer the PSAT/NMSQT to South Side High School's 10th and 11th grade students. Sophomores and Juniors taking the exam must report to their assigned testing rooms by 8:00 AM. English teachers will inform students of the room to which they must report. Students with approved College Board accommodations will be assigned to a location where they will be appropriately addressed.
All students taking the exam must bring their fully charged, school-issued Chromebook, charger, and pencils as the test is administered digitally. Earbuds and cell phones are strictly prohibited in testing rooms, and possession of them during the exam will result in dismissal from the test and cancellation of scores.
Ninth and twelfth-grade students will report to South Side High School on a delayed opening schedule. Buses will follow a second regular route that will begin at 11:00 AM. The school day will begin at 11:33 AM. The schedule for the day will be shortened periods 1 through 9 and the day will end at 2:32 PM as usual.
Sophomores and Juniors are automatically registered. If you have any questions, please contact the Counseling Center at (516) 255-8960.
