LWHS PTSA members can work with policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels to support policies that promote the interests of all children. Here are a few ways parents and guardians can get involved:

• Sign up for the PTA Takes Action Network and respond to action alerts to reach your legislators on important issues and legislation.
• Attend school district board meetings.
• Keep informed of Washington State PTA’s advocacy for legislative priorities and supported issues.
• Always remember to vote!

In conjunction with The National PTA Alcohol and Drug Free Resolution and the Washington State PTA, LWHS PTSA offers the Parent Pledge Program to:

- Build a communication network to reduce the use of alcohol and other drugs among teens in our school and community.
- Host only alcohol-free, tobacco-free and drug-free parties for teens.
- Not allow teens to possess or consume alcohol, tobacco or other drugs at their homes; and
- Discourage their teens from attending unsupervised parties.

LWHS PTSA is partnering with Princeton Review to give students the opportunity to take SAT and ACT tests just “for practice” at no cost.

These practice tests are administered ONLINE by Princeton review. They are real SAT/ACT tests from previous years that enable students to practice and determine their baseline scores prior to taking the actual test. Students' scores on these practice tests do not go on their record. Princeton Review also offers a free strategy session for students where they can learn ways to improve their performance in the actual tests.

Students take the tests online – at a date/time that is convenient within the time window below:

SAT Practice: Online window Sept 20^th - October 15^th – (Registration deadline Sept 15^th)

ACT Practice: Online window Sept 20^th - October 15^th – (Registration deadline Sept 15^th)

Note: If your student has taken an earlier practice test, they can take it again. However, please note that the set of questions will be the same.

Procedure for online tests:

1. Students register for the test using the url listed below in Step 6.
2. The email used for registration will be associated with their Princeton Review Account. (Note that students should not use their LWSD email alias – but instead use a personal email alias).
3. A few days prior to the test date, students and parents will receive instructions from Princeton Review.
4. On the day of the test, students will be able to access the test through the Princeton Review portal. Score will be available within minutes of completing the test.
5. For the strategy session (following the test), students will receive an email with a link to the live session.
6. Don’t miss this opportunity. Take the test for free! Click here to register.
