PIRATE YOUTH BASKETBALL TRAVEL TRYOUTS!

All tryouts will be held at the Jacobs Elementary School. Please try to arrive early. The season runs from December to March, with practices starting in November and includes a warm-up tournament near Thanksgiving.

Please discuss this with your son/daughter before they tryout. Travel also requires a commitment of one to two practices during the week and one to two games on weekends. Please note that the registration fee for travel varies per grade, ranging from approximately $160 to $250, and may also require a uniform purchase. Payment will not be due until after the tryouts when teams are formed, and before the season starts. Players placed on a travel team will receive a payment link after the tryouts.

PSAT Information for Grade 8 Students and Parents

On Tuesday, October 25th all Grade 8 Students will be taking the PSAT. The information below will provide students and parents with more insight to this test. 

PSAT Information

What is the PSAT?  The PSAT is a standardized test designed to give you practice for the SAT, the test you will take to apply to college. 

Why am I taking it?  The more practice you get on standardized tests, the better you will perform! The results of the PSAT will provide you with feedback on your strengths and weaknesses in reading, math, and writing/language.  

What types of questions are there?  The PSAT measures three different areas: reading; math; and writing/language skills.

Here’s the breakdown:

         

          Reading: One 55-minute section.

       

Math: Two sections: 20-minute (non calculator)

                                 40-minute (calculator)

     

Writing and Language:  One 30-minute section.

Can I study? The PSAT is not like a regular school test where you normally have an idea of what the questions/material will be.You may go to https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-8-9/inside-the-test  and look at practice questions. The PSAT measures the skills you currently possess. Grade 8 students at Memorial Middle School traditionally do very well on the PSAT!
