ACT/PreACT TESTING MARCH 24th.

We will be administering the ACT to all Juniors as our SD assessment on March 24th(Please dd to your calendar). This is mandatory for all Junior students and will begin at 8:10. Please plan on attending school. If your child must miss school that day please contact Kent Hansen @ kent.hansen@K12.sd.us.

We will also be administering the Pre-ACT to our 9th and 10th graders at 8:10 on 3/24. This will provide our students with some excellent data and training to score well on the ACT in the future.

Seniors are not required to attend school on 3/24 until 1:30 when we will do an adjusted 3rd & 4th block.

All 9-11 students (including online/homebound) must attend superstudy on March 23rd to prepare for the assessment.

Thank you for your support as we try to put all of our students in a position to be successful.
