Reminder for our annual College & Career Readiness Day tomorrow, Wednesday, October 8, 2025. The school day will be dedicated to PSAT and SAT testing or planned career readiness activities.

8th, 9th, and 10th-grade students will report to school for PSAT testing.

11th graders who registered for the National Merit PSAT and 12th graders taking a final SAT exams will also report for testing.

Juniors and seniors not testing will choose one of the following career readiness options:
- A planned college visit (virtual or in-person)
- Participation in a job-shadowing experience (virtual or in-person)
- Conduct independent career research

Students will be dismissed after testing at the student entrance by the gymnasium.
- For pick-up, parents should: only use the student parking lot, which has available parking spaces for pick-up due to the amount of student pick-ups; please avoid the flagpole/main entrance area, as this can cause major traffic congestion

Transportation is available for students who are not being picked up early.
- Students will report to the cafeteria for lunch and study hall until 2:15 p.m.
- Students will then be dismissed to the bus loop to board their buses.

We encourage all students to come prepared for testing on Wednesday. Here are a few recommendations:
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Eat a healthy breakfast
- Come prepared with your testing supplies
- Begin the test with a positive attitude

The Kenston School District is thankful for "The Giving Pump" which is located at 8501 Washington Street, Chagrin Falls, Ohio. At this location, you will find a bright purple pump (Pump #7 and #8) which is the not your usual fuel dispenser; it is a chance to make a difference. For every gallon of fuel sold at the designated pump through October 31, 2025, truenorth will donate 1 cent per gallon to Kenston Schools. This donation is a simple act and at no additional cost to you.
