JHS Juniors that are traditional in person classes: You will be taking the ACT on Tuesday April 6. Information that you will need before testing. 1) If you want to bring a mouse to plug into the chromebook to use for testing you may. (2) You will get a 30 minute lunch after section 4. You will not be able to leave the building so you will need to bring your lunch or eat in the cafeteria. (3) You cannot have your cell phone during testing including the 30 minute lunch so I would suggest just leaving your phone in your car or your locker.
Junior Virtual students will test on Wednesday, April 7 and have the same guidelines as above.
Have a great Easter Break

Rose State College is hosting an outdoor college fair we will be hosting on Saturday, April 24th from 9:00-12:00. I currently have over 30 college, military, trade, and community resources that will be in attendance to help your students find the right path for them. This event is open to any students, from any grade level, from any school districts. All I ask is that they register with the QR code on the flyer.

Students that are now in 7th through 11th grade need to find an academy that interests them and apply. This is a wonderful opportunity for students who think that college isn’t for them; these are hands on, fun-filled academies. Students will find out that STEM is exciting and fun! There are commuter and residential academies-they will get to experience what college is like. Please encourage and help them apply. The institutions will contact the students who are accepted around mid-May.
