P.S. We're hosting the play at Parker Arts Center while we make renovations to add theatrical rigging in our own Performance Hall — thanks to donors who support ongoing improvements to facilities and programs at Valor.

The Rising Tide of Anxiety

BY LINDSEY ERVIN, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SERVICES COORDINATOR

We don’t have to look far to find evidence of rising anxiety among high school students.

You may not have to look farther than your own living room. What’s a parent to do? Leaning into your teen’s anxiety can be uncomfortable and scary.

Modified Schedules and PSAT Testing This Week

Classes start at 8:05 am on Monday, October 8 and Tuesday, October 9 with modified schedules.

On Wednesday, October 10, all 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will arrive at the nromal start time of 7:40 am to take the PSAT. Students are required to bring a calculator and #2 pencils, while snacks and water are encouraged. Testing will conclude at 11:30 am and students will be dismissed for fall break. Results from this testing will be available online in mid-December.
