Upper School Newsletter
May/June 2010
From The Deans’ Office:
May is the last full month of school. As with all school years, it is hard to believe that the time has passed so swiftly. Yet evidence of progress and growth over the past school year abounds and gives testament to time well spent. Another phenomenon of school life is that school years rarely, if ever, end with anything other than a mad rush. No doubt this year will prove true to the rule. Therefore, as is clear below, May is fully packed with a host of events and opportunities for all. Please take careful note of what follows and feel free to call with any related questions.
SAT I and SAT II Administration: On Saturday, May 1st, SAT I and SAT II (subject tests) will be administered here at Brunswick School for most of our students who elect to sit for a test at this time. The tests will be held on the King Street campus and will begin promptly at 8:00am and students sitting for the tests should bring several #2 pencils, their admissions tickets, and some form of identification.
