ACT Testing on April 19th

Good morning 11^th year families. This is just a reminder that ACT testing will be happening at school on Tuesday, April 19^th.   Students should come rested, fed, with high protein snacks and a working calculator. Please note that this is paid for by the school & requires no registration on your part. However if you would like your student to take the ACT more than once or they are not able to test on the 19^th please register www.act.org Great River supplies fee waiver for all families that qualify for free & reduced lunch.

Wondering how to best prepare for ACT?   US News offers some great advice http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/test-prep/articles/2010/05/21/test-prep-6-tips-for-act-success?page=2 and a list of the best ACT Prep books can be found here http://blog.prepscholar.com/best-act-prep-books    The libraries also offer free resources and free practice test of the ACT so please check in with your local branch to see what is available.

I will be making the transition with your student as their college coach for their senior year.  Please set up times as a family to come in during the school day or direct your student to meet with me during independent work time.  I will be setting up the College Information Night in May and look forward to meeting you all then. Let me know if you have any additional questions and I look forward to beginning this journey together.
