Mock ACT for 9th, 10th, 11th / College Visit Day for Seniors
All 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will take a Mock ACT on Tuesday. Please make sure that your student gets a good night's rest and comes prepared with a snack, pencils and a calculator. Every student will be required to take the test so attendance on Tuesday is important! After the test, students will eat lunch and attend afternoon classes.
All students will receive a detailed report from their test including:
- scores from each section
- individual question results
- benchmark status
- types of questions missed
Throughout the remainder of first semester, core subject teachers will be working with students on the following:
- Strategies for each subject area test
- Skills tested and types of questions for each subject area test
- Test corrections on all missed questions
Students will take a second Mock ACT Test on January 9th to measure their growth.
In an effort to provide the most effective testing environment, all seniors are assigned this day as an extra college/career day. Seniors are encouraged to apply to colleges and for scholarships from home, schedule an in-person college visit, job shadow or visit a military recruiter. Seniors will not come into school on September 12; they will be coded with an administrator approved absence.
HTHS Visitors - Circool Introductory Letter
Starting September 15th, when we invite parents, guardians, and community members to visit HTHS for events during the school day such as pep rallies, awards ceremonies, etc. we will use a new procedure. Visitors will need to register through an app called “Circool” pronounced “circle.”
This app allows to ensure every person coming onto campus for large format events are vetted in a timely manner. This will provide us with both safety and efficiency. Please take a moment to read the attached introductory letter. We will send more instructions on setting up your account. Our first event using Circool will be for the September 15th Pep Rally.
