Accessing PSAT Scores
All the PSAT scores from the exam taken in October are now available. The breakdown of each section, including the correct answers as well as a personalized study plan from Khan Academy can be found on your College Board account at collegeboard.org. If you have not yet, you will need to create a College Board account in order to see your scores. The directions are below. Please, please, please...if you have already created an account do not create another, as this will severely complicate all dealings with College Board in the future, from SAT's to AP's to eventually sending scores to colleges. If you can't remember if you already have an account, please go through the "forgot my password" or "forgot my username" process to be certain. Any issues with accounts need to be directed to College Board rather than Faith Lutheran. Paper copies of scores will not be distributed as College Board no longer sends paper scores, however there will be test score interpretation assemblies during advisories in January for further information and to answer any questions.
- Go to collegeboard.org
- Click “Sign Up”
- Go through the process of creating an account
- When done, sign in with your new username and password
- Click “PSAT 8/9”
- If your scores do not appear, click “Add Scores”
- You may be asked to enter your password again
- You may be asked to update/double check all your information
- Click “Update”
- Scores should now be viewable

My iPad is not charging, why?
We have seen some iPads reported as not charging. Yet when we put them on a proper charger they seem to be fine. In researching this issue, there are some common notes. Here is what I found.
One of the biggest issues when an iPad is not charging is using the wrong charger. The school provided every student with a proper charger. The charging blocks are larger than an iPhone charger and provide 12w of power to fill the batteries on an iPad. The charger looks like the image below.
Many times, we see an iPhone charger being used to charge the iPad. The iPhone brick delivers 5w of charging power (less than half of the iPad charger). This can cause problems for the iPad. It will cause the iPad to charge slower than designed and ultimately make the iPad report not charging. The iPhone charger looks like this:
On top of that, there are those that go out to replace a lost charger and find a super cheap one on eBay. These chargers are usually knock offs of the proper charger and have a 90% failure rate in a short time, but because of how they are made may also not provide the proper power for the iPad. Stay away from cheap replacements and get an Apple charger (required for school devices - since that is what we provided).
Frayed, damaged cables or using cheap replacement cables come in as the number two reason the iPad will not charge properly. Frayed ends can short out or break internally giving intermittent times of working or not. These cables should be replaced as soon as possible with a certified Lightning to USB cable.
The third reason your iPad will not charge is a mashup of different issues. These range from shutting the iPad off, cleaning the Lightning port on the iPad, and on rare occasions it is the battery on the iPad that has gone bad.
Hopefully this has provided information that will help you keep you iPad charged and ready for school.
Blessings and Merry Christmas!

DEVOTIONAL
Who Are Your True Friends?
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24
Who are your true friends? Stop and think about that for a moment. How many of the people you consider friends, truly care about you? How many encourage you in your visions and dreams, and are there for you when you hit a wall? If we’re honest, most of us would have to concede that a significant number of so-called friends and associates aren’t there for us in a pinch. In fact, many of the people we spend time with are time-wasters who drain our energy and trivialize our dreams. In the Old Testament David and Jonathan were willing to lay down their lives for each other. And Ruth told Naomi, ‘Wherever you go, I will go’ (Ruth 1:16). Do you have friends like that? If not, spend more time cultivating relationships with those who genuinely care about you; who don’t feel threatened by your success and want to see you succeed. You don’t need to be cold or rude to the others. Maintain their friendship, but spend your serious time with friends who believe in you and want you to achieve your God-given potential. Novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard said, ‘Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.’ Here’s a fail-safe principle when it comes to cultivating great friendships: whatever you desire in your own life, you must first give to others. If you want true friends, you must become a true friend. If you want a harvest of blessing in your own life, plant seeds of blessing in the lives of others.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Help me cultivate friends that I invest in and who invest in me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, Help me cultivate friends that I invest in and who invest in me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
