Notes from Ms. Amundson    
"I am reaching out to you to inform you about the opportunity for Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors to take the ACT (American College Test) here at Sanborn Central, during the regular school day.

I am completing the contracts and information necessary to administer the ACT test to students here at the school. My hope is that more students will take the ACT if it is here at the school during the regular school day, and they do not have to travel to a testing center on a Saturday. Taking the ACT in a comfortable learning environment that they are used to testing and learning in is also a benefit of ACT District Testing.

The date is not confirmed yet, but as of right now it will be on Tuesday, October 17 in the morning. The cost will be around $51.75 per student to take all 4 sections of the ACT, which is a discounted price.

The ACT is comprised of 4 subjects; math, reading, english, and science. The ACT is "superscored," which means that no matter how many times a student takes the ACT, they will always take the student's best score in each subject. This is very helpful in improving overall ACT composite scores. I encourage students to aim for a 24 overall score as the SD Opportunity Scholarship requires a 24.

Students are not required to take the ACT test here at the school, but I do encourage students to do so as it is a great opportunity. 

I have talked to all students in 10th, 11th, and 12^th grade regarding this opportunity, and some students have already informed me that they would like to take the ACT test here at the school. If you would like your student to take the ACT, please discuss this with your child and either you or your child can let me know so I can add them to the list. Please let me know by this Thursday night if possible.

Please reach out with any questions or concerns!

Ms. Logan Amundson

Freshman Impact-This Wednesday, September 20. Mrs. Wilson and I are requiring students to be here at the school by 7:15 AM Wednesday morning to load the mini bus as we need to be in Alexandria by 8:00/8:15 AM. We informed the students about the departure time this morning.

Lunch will be provided for the students at this event. I recommended to the students that they bring a water bottle to carry with them.

Students will be back by the end of the school day to attend sports practices after school.

Please reach out with any questions and/or concerns.

I am looking forward to it!

Have a great day!

Ms. Amundson"
