PSAT Scores
Rockford Freshman Center students participated in state testing on April 22, 2026. Michigan utilizes the PSAT 8/9 and this information provides the state with information about student achievement across schools but also provides invaluable information to each school regarding strengths and areas for growth. PSAT is a trusted standardized test authored by College Board. In Michigan, students take the PSAT in grades 8, 9 and 10. In 11th grade, students take the SAT and multiple additional assessments.
Many freshmen may already have an account with College Board. Those who do not are encouraged to create one. The College Board account will provide students with PSAT results this summer. College Board also provides students with free practice opportunities and several tools for college planning. Please note - students should use a private email address (not their RPS account) when creating an account with College Board.
Geometry readiness
Summer Math Review
To help your student hit the ground running this fall, we have provided an optional summer review packet. Because Geometry relies heavily on Algebra 1 skills, the goal of this packet is to keep their math momentum sharp and prevent the "summer slide." It includes video resources for a quick refresher and an answer key so students can self-check their work. While this packet will not be collected or graded, we highly encourage students to use it to boost their confidence for the upcoming school year! (Please note: the QR code in the packet will send you to the Answer Keys and Video Resources — this is still being updated, and will be all set once summer starts)
Another Option is the Khan Academy has a "Get Ready for Geometry" course you can access here:
backpack donations
Student Council is collecting backpacks on the last two days of school in support of a local non-profit organization, Neighbors for Neighbors. Backpacks are one of the most requested items at Neighbors for Neighbors. If you would like your student to donate his/her backpack, Student Council will have a table set up for donations. Thank you!
