SUPPORT YOUR STUDENT ON SAT DAY!

Posted April 14, 2026

Dear RFSSA Families,

As we prepare for the SAT this Thursday, I want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of this assessment in your child’s academic journey. While the SAT is just one measure, it provides valuable opportunities for college access, scholarships, and future pathways.

We ask for your partnership in setting your child up for success. Please encourage your student to:

  • Get a good night’s rest the evening before the test
  • Eat a healthy breakfast on the morning of the exam
  • Arrive at school on time and ready to focus

Just like in life, tests are a natural part of our journey. Whether it’s a driving test, an eye exam, or a performance evaluation, these moments help us grow and demonstrate what we know. The SAT is simply another chapter in your scholar’s story—an opportunity to show their hard work and potential.

Most importantly, please take time to encourage your scholar. Your words, support, and belief in them make a powerful difference.

We are excited to celebrate our students’ efforts and accomplishments, and we look forward to hosting a Pre-SAT campus celebration to build energy and confidence leading into test day.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Sincerely,
Dr. Fernando M. Branch
Principal, Robert F. Smith STEAM Academy
