This is when you are actually registering for the test. When you get to the payment page, put in your waiver number. Step 4: Complete the registration by uploading your picture and printing your ticket. Make sure you know where and when you test and what you have to bring! * Helpful hints- You are permitted 4 waivers for the ACT and 2 waivers for the SAT during your entire high school career. You must be classified as a junior or senior to utilize a waiver. * As a Title 1 school, all Rickards students are eligible for waivers. * Register EARLY to get the test date and location you want. * If you need help at ANY time reach out to your counselor in GUIDANCE. * If you register for a test, you must go and take the test. If you do not, you have wasted your waiver. In addition, you are denying another student their opportunity to test.

You are invited to this event planned exclusively for Florida Pre-IB and IB students, and the link on the attached flyer is still the link you can use to join this event. The College Fair will feature Florida State University System colleges and Private Colleges and Universities in Florida. Students and parents must register (see hot link on flyer) and will be able to attend three sessions. Colleges will be grouped in breakout rooms, so be prepared with questions. There will be no formal presentation, and representatives will know they are talking specifically to Pre-IB and IB students and parents. My College Resource will host two sessions for parents on supporting students through the application process in separate breakout rooms. It's never too early to gather more information about Florida colleges, so join us October 11 from 6:30-8:00 pm. Please see the attached IB Virtual College Fair Flyer for the registration link. Our Annual IB Senior College Application Day will take place at Rickards on Thursday, October 13. IB Seniors will spend the day in the Rickards Cafeteria working on their college applications. Representatives from the Admissions and Financial Aid Offices at FAMU, FSU, and TCC will be there, along with our IB Administrative Team and Guidance Counselors, to help students and answer their questions. Please join me in congratulating our seven National Merit Semifinalists: Abhinav Balaji, Tanmay Haldiya, Annika Lagy, Ananya Mundrathi, Sruthi Sentil, Karthik Vedula, and Eric Zeng!

We also congratulate our National Merit Commended Students: Harshil Dalvaigari, Shubham Dixit, Jenna Jeon, Angela Liang, Nitishsai Nandineni, Alexander Piroth, Faith Register, Emily Taylor, and Akhil Walia! Though these students will not continue further in the National Merit Scholarship competition, they deserve commendation for being one of the 50,000 highest scorers of the approximately 1.5 million 11th-grade students who took the PSAT/NMSQT Exam last fall. We are proud of our National Merit Semifinalists and Commended Scholars for representing Rickards and the academic excellence we foster at our school! 2022 IB Diplomas and Transcripts are in: The 2022 IB Diplomas and IB Transcripts have arrived from Cardiff, Wales, UK. 2022 IB graduates or their parents can pick them up from Dr. Williams in the front office at Rickards.

Smith Computer Programmer Parents: Personal VPNs and proxy servers typically can be used to bypass security systems that are put in place to protect LCS staff, students, and resources. We have been blocking personal VPN and Proxy use when accessing these resources for more than a year now. We are seeing an increased use of VPN/Proxies by students. We ask that you please make sure your student knows and understands that if they are connected to a VPN/proxy service (on their cell phone, as an example) an attempt to connect to district resources (examples: Office365, Focus, Canvas, etc) their accounts will be automatically disabled by the LCS security system. At that point, they can no longer access our resources. This then requires the Techcon (Mr. Smith) to reset their password and then the block released by Leon County Schools district technology services. This can take time for this to occur as these are both manual processes (resetting the password/unblocking the student) resulting in the student not being able to access possibly needed resources for school work.
