Assessment Announcements
11th Grade PSAT Day: Wednesday, October 14
On Wednesday, October 14, all Maeser Juniors will be given the opportunity to take the PSAT — a pre-SAT test offered by the College Board. This is a free opportunity for our Juniors to enter the National Merit Scholarship Competition. Your Junior is already signed up to take the PSAT.
In order to create a safe and focused testing environment for our Juniors, we have set aside this day for PSAT testing only. There will be NO SCHOOL on October 14 for students who are not in 11th grade. Please make other arrangements for your students in grades 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 on that day, as we will not have space or supervision available for them on our campus.
If your sophomore or senior has signed up to take the ASVAB that day, they should report directly to the testing location given to them by the counselors.
More detailed information about PSAT day will be sent to Juniors and their parents as we get closer to the day of the test.
We encourage all Juniors to take the PSAT on October 14, both as a free opportunity to practice before taking the ACT and as an opportunity to enter a large scholarship competition. However, parents who prefer not to send their students to campus for testing can choose to opt their students out of this test by submitting a signed Parental Exclusion Form by NO LATER THAN Monday, October 12 (to give us time to excuse your student’s absence and adjust our testing room assignments). These students will be provided with information about how they can enter the National Merit Scholarship competition without taking the PSAT.
Parent Help Needed!
In order to start our students off right on PSAT Day, we offer breakfast and a mid-test snack to keep their brains powered! We would love help from our parents! Please sign up to help here: Junior PSAT Breakfast 2026
ASVAB Test Sign-ups (Sophomores & Seniors only)
The ASVAB is a career aptitude test designed to help students learn about their skills, interests, and possible career paths. It is available to all students, not just those interested in the military.
Maeser is offering the ASVAB test to sophomores and seniors only on Wednesday, October 14th at 9:00am. Breakfast begins at 8:30am. Spots are limited to 50 participants. Official sign ups have closed, but if you are still interested, please contact counselors@maeserprep.org.
Math Rocks!
Math Rocks! is an afterschool program sponsored by UVU’s math department. We meet once per term, have snacks, and do some really fun math projects. This extracurricular activity is open to all students in any level of math. Our first meeting will be on Thursday, October 22nd and we will be playing a game called Quads and exploring the math principles used in this game. A permission slip will be needed. Talk to Mrs. Plott (rochelle.plot@maeserprep.org) for more information and to get a permission slip.
Study Hall
Need a quiet productive space after school? Maeser National Honor society will be hosting a Study Hall on Wednesdays from 3:30pm to 4:30pm in room 205. Come if you need a productive space, a desk to work at, or chromebook access. NHS members will supervise the session and will also be open to tutor and answer any questions, if possible.
Math Lab
Do you need some help in math? Do you need a quiet place to work on math homework? The math tutoring lab is open Monday through Thursday each week. Before school (7:15 a.m. – 7:45 a.m.), the math lab is in room #302. After school (3:45 – 4:15 p.m.), the math lab is in room #103. The math lab is FREE and open to all Maeser students in any level of math.
