SAT, PSAT, and AP Exam Accommodations

Did you know that if your student has an IEP or 504 plan they cannot automatically get their accommodations on College Board tests (SAT, PSAT, and AP exams)?

 

In order to get their accommodations applied to these tests for next school year (and beyond), please fill out this accommodations request consent form and email it to Ms. Wells at Katherine.wells@k12.dc.gov. College Board requires at least 7 weeks for processing so please submit the form as soon as possible to ensure accommodations get approved before fall testing.

Help the PTSO Reach their Goal!

It’s not too late to support the JRHS community! We hope you will consider donating to help us reach our $150K goal before the last day of school!

The Jackson-Reed Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) supports funding requests from teachers, administrators, staff and student groups with grants that meet the needs of our community.
