Direct Admit Wisconsin Program
Junior Families - The time is here for you to opt in or opt out to the Direct Admit Wisconsin program. Again, this program is a partnership with the University of Wisconsin system that streamlines the college application process for your child. If you choose to participate in the program, the district will share some specific information from your child’s record with the University of Wisconsin system. Then, the universities that are participating will be able to decide if they can offer your child a direct admission offer which will allow you to bypass the traditional application process. Details regarding the program can be found here.
This form will detail the specific information that the district will be sharing with the University of Wisconsin system if you choose to participate. Please read the form carefully in Infinite Campus and select your choice for opting in or out of the program. The deadline to opt in to the program is May 1, 2025. If you have questions regarding the program, contact your child’s counselor.

ACT Corner
A little more than TWO weeks before the 3/11 test!
Here is some feedback left by last year’s juniors after taking the ACT:
The digital test was nice for highlighting, annotating, and keeping track of time.
“The essay portion was easier digitally because I can type faster than I can write.”
Being the last multiple choice test, students should spend time honing science stamina.
Several students planned too long on writing and ran out of time.
“I didn't like all of our practice in class, but it really made me aware of the format, questions, and pace.”
Students wished they started practicing in Methodize sooner, something we did sooner this year!
“Study guides gave me good tips on how to answer questions.”
Here are printable study guides for each test:
