PSIA

P.S.I.A. (A.K.A) Private School Interscholastic Association program is designed to support the basic academic curriculum.  It is an academic competitive program primarily motivates students to:

• find new excitement in learning
• achieve a higher mastery level
• receive recognition/awards for academic excellence

St. Rita School will participate in Private Schools Interscholastic Association (PSIA) this year.  This will be our second year to be involved in this academic competition.  We have learned many new things; met new people from other schools in Texas; and, had a fun time competing at the district and state levels.

Based on your student's  desire, ability and maturity, he or she may want to try-out for one of the 19 contests offered by PSIA.   Please visit the PSIA website for detailed information on each category event:

The PSIA District AA meet will be held on March 23, 2007 at St. Monica School.  Please take a moment to talk with your child(ren) about PSIA. Please, also, keep in mind that parental participation is required if your student(s) will be part of the St. Rita PSIA Team.  This may include coaching (to begin in the next month) a subject in preparation for the contest, judging, grading, monitoring, and other jobs during the event contests.

Please review the materials listed below, and contact Monique Losson (losson1@sbcglobal.net ) or Kim Robbs (krobbs@strita.net ) with any questions.

We're looking forward to another spirited and rewarding experience with PSIA at the district and state competitions.
