SIGN UP FOR A FREE CLASS TO LEARN ABOUT PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES
With severe weather events becoming more frequent and more extreme, it is more important than
ever that New Yorkers are prepared for disasters. The NY Citizen Preparedness Training Program
teaches residents to have the tools and resources to prepare for any type of disaster, respond
accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to normal conditions. This training course will provide
an introduction to responding to a natural or man-made disaster. Participants will be advised on how
to properly prepare for any disaster, including developing a family emergency plan and stocking up
on emergency supplies. Each family that attends will receive one preparedness kit.

Early Degree/Associate Degree Presentation - 9/16/2025
On Tuesday, September 16th, Mr. Brent Doane from Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3) will be visiting Waverly to present information about the Early Degree/Associate's Degree program. This will take place in the High School Cafeteria from 3:15-3:45. The presentation is open to any interested 9th-11th graders as well as parents/guardians that would like to learn more about the Early Degree.
Early Degree is an option for ambitious high school students to complete the requirements for an Associate’s Degree while in high school. Early Degree students combine Concurrent Enrollment courses with College Now Online courses, and occasionally on-campus and Advanced Placement courses, to fulfill an Associate’s Degree’s 60+ credits. Most courses are concurrent enrollment courses taken at the high school, allowing students to simultaneously earn high school and college credit for the same course. Requirements unavailable at the high school are taken online or on campus.
Early Degree is an academically rigorous option that appeals to mature, highly motivated students. The average Early Degree student graduates with honors from Tompkins Cortland with an average GPA of 3.54. Those who pursue the Early Degree should be certain of their college major and career goals, skilled at time management, ready to enter college at junior-level coursework, and willing to dedicate the required time, energy, and money to earning the required credits. A few college-credit courses may be available to students in their freshman or sophomore year. However, most courses are for juniors and seniors. CollegeNow Online courses are also for qualified juniors and seniors. (With their guidance counselor’s recommendation, students may begin online courses the summer after sophomore year.)
To learn more about the Early Degree Program through TC3, you may visit https://www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow/early-degree.

The SAT exam (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is going to be given at Waverly High School on Wednesday, October 15th. The exam will begin at 8:00 a.m. and will take approximately 3 hours to complete. The exam is on a first come first serve basis as we have a limited number of exams.
The fee for the SAT exam is $68. Students can pay by cash or check. If you are paying by check, it can be made payable to "The Waverly Central School District."
The SAT is a standardized test used by many colleges and universities in the United States—including those that are test optional. It’s used for admissions, financial aid, placement, and other purposes. The primary benefit of taking the SAT is that it gives colleges a standardized measure of your academic abilities. With those scores, most colleges and universities can compare students from different schools and backgrounds on a level field. While the SAT isn’t the only factor that colleges consider in the admissions process, it’s a valuable tool that can demonstrate your academic abilities and improve your chances of being admitted to your desired college or university. It’s a more objective measure than extracurricular activities, teacher recommendations, or college application essays.
Although some four-year colleges don’t require an admission test score as part of your application, the test strengthens your college application nearly everywhere. Most U.S. colleges and universities accept the SAT. If you’re not sure which college you want to attend, it’s a good idea to take the test. You can decide at a later time whether or not to submit your scores with your application.
Remember that an average test score is just that ─ an average. Don't be afraid to apply to a college that seems right for you even if its average score is higher or lower than yours. Talk to your school counselor about whether or not you should submit your scores.
Some colleges and educational organizations award scholarship money to students based in part on SAT scores.
By opting in to the Student Search Service when you register for the weekend SAT, you can receive free information from colleges and scholarship programs. This can help you to discover a good match. Depending on your school, district, or state, if you take the SAT in school on a school day you can opt-into the Connections(TM) feature of the free Big Future School mobile app that also allows you to hear from colleges that might be a good match.
Students that are interested in taking the exam can sign up in the Guidance Department. The deadline to sign up is Monday, September 15th at 3:00 p.m.
To learn more about the SAT, you may visit https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat.
Please reach out to your Guidance Counselor for more information, with any questions and to sign up for the exam.
The PSAT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is going to be given at Waverly High School on Tuesday, October 21st. The exam will begin at 8:00 a.m. and will take approximately 3 hours to complete. The exam is on a first come first serve basis as we have a limited number of exams. The exam is open to Juniors and Sophomores. Priority will be given to the Junior class.
Students that are interested in taking the exam can sign up in the Guidance Department. The deadline to sign up is Monday, September 15th at 3:00 p.m.
The fee for the PSAT exam is $18.00. Students can pay by cash or check. If you are paying by check, it can be made payable to "The Waverly Central School District."
What Is the PSAT?
The PSAT/NMSQT (short for Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is an opportunity for students to practice for the SAT. You can take the PSAT a total of three times in high school but only once per year. Most students take the test their Junior year, with some taking it as a Sophomore as well.
PSAT scores are designed to predict your SAT scores and gauge your college readiness. By taking the PSAT, you will learn which areas you should focus on when studying for the SAT and will be better equipped to score well on the SAT.
The PSAT is also the qualifying test for a National Merit Scholarship. Juniors who take the test must score in the top 1% to move on as semifinalists for National Merit Scholarships. To learn more about the National Merit Scholarship, you may visit https://www.nationalmerit.org/s/1758/start.aspx?gid=2&pgid=61.
