2. Registration Tests: Students go to either the Math Test Room or the Verbal Test Room. Parents remain in Registration Room. In special cases, unaccompanied MATURE, RESPONSIBLE students may Register themselves after the Test. This applies to returning students, or students who lack a parental figure. We do not want students to take this test at home because we find that too many such tests get administered incorrectly, which causes extra problems.

3. Complete Registration Form. Parents do this in the Registration Room waiting for the Registrar to call their Student Registration Number. Yes you can download this form now and fill it out at home, then bring it to a Registration Session already completed.
4. One-on-One Registration: You can not do this at home. You must come to one of the Registration Sessions to do this. When Registrar calls Parent's Registration Sign-in Number, Parent sits at Registrar's Table.

4.1. Registrar completes and collects Registration Form (filled out "neatly and completely"!).
4.2. Registrar collects $50 Registration Fee. See: Discounts & Donations
4.3. Registrar collects copy of student School and PSAT/SAT/ACT transcripts. We need these to best assess each student! Staple to back of Registratrion Form.

4.5. Parent will type family email addresses into StudentInfo.MasterList.xls on program laptop.
4.6. Parent will select Pre-Semester Family Consultation time.

5. Review Orientation Web Pages. After all Parents have Registered, the BCLS staff will lead a group discussion of selected website pages. Returning parents may exempt themselves by reveiwing these pages now on-line. But new parents in addition to reviewing these pages now, must participate in this discussion. When the students finish testing, they'll join their parents with this activity in-progress.
