For Parents of Sophomore Students
Sophomore students will be taking the Pre-ACT Secure on Tuesday October 22, 2024. Testing letters went out to students this week with details about exactly what to expect, what time to be here, etc. Included with this letter is a permission slip that may be turned in for sign-out after the test.
3 IMPORTANT Reminders:
1.Students must bring their (charged) Chromebook to use on the day of the test. Also bring your chargers!
2. All sophomores must check in at their testing room with a photo ID. We will have student ID's available in the lobby for pickup if students do not have a permit or other approved ID.
3. There will be no cell phones or other personal devices allowed in the halls on this date. Please leave all devices (including smart watches) in the car, at home, or in your locker!
