No, I think the schools need to actually communicate about PSAT days. Same problem at Wakefield.  They seem to assume everyone just somehow knows the protocols and what to do on PSAT days.  I have a senior and a sophomore and still didn't know!  The senior didn't have this sophomore year due to COVID.  I forgot about it from last year.  My sophomore received no word from any of her teachers about it.  When a classmate mentioned it (which is when I became aware that today is PSAT day), my sophomore asked "what's the PSAT?"  Yesterday, there was apparently an announcement telling students to login somewhere to find out where they should go for testing; but my child couldn't hear the announcements because the other kids in the class were talking too loudly.  They asked older sibling what they had to take to the exam (as in pencils, calculator, etc.)

At first, I didn't even know freshmen and seniors had asynchronous work for today.  Didn't learn that until Monday after the principal sent an email in response to multiple inquiries on the PTSA listserv. That's when I learned it was an asynchronous day.  Didn't seem my senior was aware of that.  that email is also what alerted me to the fact that students can leave school after the test is completed if they have a way home or would have to stay until regular time for the bus.  Still don't know what the students do between finishing the test and catching the bus.

I find it flabbergasting this isn't communicated better to students, let alone parents.  But somewhat reassured that it's not just a Wakefield problem.
