Thanks to Mrs. Tanya Morgan who organizes our special
Hot Lunch Days through the school year. She works very
hard to plan lunches that the students like, works with the
restaurants, collects and counts the orders, places the final
counts and is here to serve the students and make sure
everything runs smoothly. We appreciate all that she
does. We also thank her son Brody Morgan, for being her
messenger.
Also, many thanks to the parents who volunteer to help in
the cafeteria during those Hot Lunch days. Mrs. Morgan
and all of her helpers make these special lunches possible.

November 19th High School Placement Test (HSPT) – Preparation Opportunity
Learn more and sign-up – www.RedwoodPrep.com
Jim Telles and I have been partners in instruction for over 25 years at St. Xavier High School and
will be offering an HSPT preparation course for interested 7th and 8th grade students (boys and
girls) at St. Xavier High Saturday, October 29thand November 5th. The actual HSPT exam will be
held on Saturday, November 19thensuring the concepts and preparation learned in the course stay
fresh for exam day.
This is an 8 hour preparatory course for the HSPT. The first 4 hours of instruction are offered on
October 29th and the second 4 hours on November 5th. Students can register for the 8:00 AM – 12:00
PM or 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM session. The time slot that the student chooses to attend on October 29
is also the same time slot he or she will attend on November 5. If inclement weather forces the
cancellation of either weekend session, students are expected to be available on Saturday, November
12thfor a make-up session.
Jim and I pioneered the study strategy course at St. Xavier High for incoming freshmen that
welcomes over 300 kids over the summer. We enjoy teaching these programs and hearing about the
great results our participants achieve. We work with RedwoodPrep, a group of educators with a
nationwide HSPT preparation curriculum and program, to offer an HSPT preparation program here
at St. Xavier High.
Students often go into the HSPT exam lacking formal preparation leading to poorer results and more
stress. Our two day program comprehensively prepares students and addresses all the key topics in
each of the exam’s 5 major areas: Verbal Skills, Mathematics, Reading, Language and Quantitative
Skills. We also teach students key test-taking strategies applicable to the HSPT and – just as
importantly – future standardized exams as well (e.g., time management, answer choice
elimination). By program’s end, students will know how to tackle every type of problem on the HSPT
and know how to navigate standardized exams more effectively and efficiently.
To learn more and sign-up, visit www.RedwoodPrep.com.
We look forward to working with you and wish you all the best with your high school admissions
process,
