Students in Grades 9, 10 and 12 will work independently from home on their classes through the Canvas Learning Management System and enter their attendance through a Google form for each class.

Students in Grade 11 will be the ONLY students on campus on this day. School will start at its regularly scheduled time with a modified bell schedule to follow.

Testers will be dismissed at 1:45 p.m. A late bus will run at 2:45 p.m. is available for students needing additional time to complete the ACT Test.

All students will return to campus on Wednesday, March 22.

The ACT includes multiple-choice tests in English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science, and a Writing essay in English. The ACT matches well with the state’s education standards, measures what is learned in high school, and provides a measure of academic readiness for college classes. Additionally, the results may be used when exploring college majors, careers, and life goals. Results are available to schools 6-8 weeks after students participate in testing.
