FALL TESTING

On Thursday, October 8th, we will give the PSAT 8/9 to Freshmen and the PSAT/NMSQT to Sophomores and Juniors. Seniors will conduct learning activities at home on this day. We highly recommend that students consider using free test prep resources ahead of test day. There are sample questions and a full-length practice test available through the Bluebook app on your iPad through Self Service. 

On Test Day, you will log in to the Bluebook app on your iPad with a Test Ticket. For now, you can log in to your existing College Board account if you have one. You may have created one in the past for an AP Course or other weekend testing. If you have never created one before, you can create your college board account here ( This is optional). A personal College Board account gives you access to various College Board programs and services. You will need a College Board account to register for weekend SATs, to view and send scores, personalize your web experience, or use certain tools on their site. And, if you're an AP student, you'll use your account's email and password to access AP Classroom.  Note: You should set up your account using a personal email address (such as Gmail), not your school BSD email.

My favorite part of my job is watching the transition that occurs in our students from freshmen year to senior year. I am lucky enough to watch this growth and maturity while guiding them a bit along the way. It makes me proud to be in this profession and be a part of the Barrington process.Barbara BarreiroLife Skills Department Chair

Barrington 220 is a place where students establish the fundamentals to forge their own paths. We read, write, think, discuss, and create. As a current faculty member and proud graduate of Countryside, Prairie, and BHS, I look forward to working with students every day to create the next generation of thinkers, learners, and creators. There's nowhere else I'd rather teach. I'm proud to work in Barrington 220 and I'm glad you're here.Cary WaxlerSocial Studies Teacher
