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

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
Express Your Love
And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22:39
When it comes to loving others: 1) You need to say it. An old fisherman who’d been married for fifty years to his patient, long-suffering wife, rarely took time to express his affection. Finally, in frustration one day she said to him, ‘How come you never tell me you love me?’ Without batting an eyelid, he announced, ‘I told you I loved you when I married you, and if I ever change my mind I’ll let you know!’ That’s a cute story, but not so cute if it’s a reality. Your husband or wife may know you love them, but they still need to hear you say it. And so, do your children, your friends, and the people in your circle of influence. The fact is you can never say ‘I love you’ too much! 2) You need to show it. Everybody needs ‘a pat on the back’. Dr. Dolores Krieger, a professor of nursing at New York University who conducted numerous studies on the power of human touch, discovered that both the ‘toucher’ and the ‘touchee’ experience great physiological benefit from human contact. It works like this: red blood cells carry hemoglobin, a substance that transports oxygen to body tissue. Dr. Krieger found that when one person lays hands on another, the hemoglobin levels in the blood stream of both people increase. And as they rise, body tissue receives increased oxygen, which invigorates you physically and can aid in the healing process. What you’re seeing is the literal power of love in action. Loving is good for you! There’s nothing as rewarding, satisfying, or encouraging as loving others through your words and actions.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me be more loving in both words and actions – as You are with me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, help me be more loving in both words and actions – as You are with me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
