2024 CONNECTICUT SAT TO ALL JUNIORS 

REVISED SCHEDULE FOR ALL

On March 21, 2024, all juniors will take the Connecticut SAT.  To create an optimal testing environment where juniors can produce their best work, there will be a revised schedule for Branford High School on March 21st to administer the Connecticut SAT to all juniors.  All juniors will report to school at the normal time (doors open at 7:00 am, first bell at 7:25 am) while all other students will begin school at 10:25 am.

Normal bus runs will pick up juniors only at their normally scheduled time.  A special bus run will pick up all other students 2 ½ to 3 hours later than their usual time for a 10:25 start time.

All four periods (5-8) that are scheduled for Thursday will take place beginning at 10:25 am.  Lunch will be served with 2 lunch waves only.
