Attention all interested 7th - 12th grade students!
Spring Musical Auditions Sign ups for Wizard of Oz auditions can be found on the bulletin
board outside Faustina. Auditions are being held Monday, December 10th and Tuesday December 11th from 3:00 - 7:00. Each student needs to sign up for one hour time slot. Please do not sign up for a time slot that will conflict with basketball, chamber choir or other Seton activities. At Auditions, you will need to bring
1) an audition form signed by your parents, 2) a calendar filled in with conflicts (included with form), and 3) a Parent Gift and Talent form. At auditions, students will need to 1) sing a song (from a musical or a Christmas carol), 2) act out a small scene (scripts are at the Corpus Christi office), and 3) learn a dance step. The website has the dance steps broken down online so you can practice them. There are three posts about dance steps. See https://setonmusical.com/auditions/ for more information! Stage crew applications will be taken in FEBRUARY. If you have any conflicts or concerns, please contact Mrs. Erin Vander Woude.
The 2019 Seton Spirit Ad Campaign forms are now available on the website. Take advantage of the holi-days to sell ads to friends and family. Official kick-off will be on Jan 7, 2019. St. Faustina, Pray for us!

2018 PSAT and PSAT 8/9
Score Report Update
Beginning December 11, the online score reports will be available for the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders in Virginia who took the October 2018 PSAT 8/9 or PSAT. Students who took one of these exams and have a College Board ac-count should receive an email notification when his/her online score report is available. Information on how to in-terpret score results is available on the College Board web-site (www.collegeboard.org).
College Board will send the students’ paper score reports to Seton later in December or in January. Once they arrive, the paper score reports will be sent home in a sealed envelope with your oldest student who took the PSAT or PSAT 8/9. If, as a parent, you would prefer to pick up your child's score report at school (rather than have your child receive it), please contact Mrs. Reyes at (540) 683-1942 or [email protected].
