EMAIL DETAILS

<p>
Good Afternoon,</p>
<p>
First, I wanted to send a reminder regarding the test preparation program that will be offered on campus through Academic Approach. The introductory note is below and I have attached the program overviews, for the SAT course and the ACT course, to this email. </p>
<p>
Second, we have changed the registration deadlines to align with the diagnostic tests. If you are taking the December 5th SAT diagnostic, the results will be returned to you in time to register by December 10<sup>th</sup> and begin the class on December 12<sup>th</sup>. If you are taking the January 9<sup>th</sup> ACT diagnostic, the results will be returned to you in time to register by January 18<sup>th</sup> and begin the class on January 23<sup>rd</sup>. If you know which course you would like to take and it is not dependent on the results of the diagnostic, please register as soon as possible. </p>
<p>
Finally, if you are interested, registration information (for the full course) can be found on the first page of each attachment. If you have any questions or if you are interested in signing-up for only the diagnostic exam(s), please let me know. </p>
<p>
Best, Jane</p>

Subject: From the College Office: On-Campus test preparation opportunity</p>
<p>
Dear Juniors and Parents,</p>
<p>
I am writing to introduce a test preparation program for both the SAT and ACT that Academic Approach will be offering at Sidwell Friends School. The SAT course will begin Saturday, December 5 and prepare students for the March 5, 2016 exam while the ACT course will begin Saturday, January 9 and prepare students for the April 9, 2016 exam. The attachments provide a program overview of the test preparation class and tutors, registration information, and a schedule with dates/times for each class and the diagnostic tests. </p>
<p>
There are a few items that are important to know as you consider this option:</p>
<p>
1. Financial Aid is available. If you wish to inquire about financial aid consideration, please contact me. </p>
<p>
2. All students may sit for the first diagnostic test (free of charge) for both the SAT and the ACT before choosing to register for the class. You may also sit for the first diagnostic exam even if you are not interested in the full course.</p>
<p>
3. Our Academic Approach contact, Cary O’Brien, is available to speak with students and parents to answer any questions about the course or to offer guidance as you determine which test is the best fit. If you would like to be in touch with him, he can be reached by phone at (212)348-4172 or by email at cary.obrien@academicapproach.com.</p>
<p>
Best, Jane</p>
