12. Other High School Stuff
Fast Start: A form which requests that 7th and 8th grade classes (Algebra and Geometry and World Language) be placed onto your High school Transcript. This does affect G.P.A. and cannot be removed once it is placed on the transcript. Have until senior year to complete paperwork.
PSAT: Puyallup School District administered the PSAT 8/9 to all of our 9th grade students in the Fall.
The PSAT 8/9 helps students determine what they need to work on most so that they’re ready for college when they graduate from high school.
Results are online and will be discussed with students.
