Notes from Ms. Amundson    
Many sophomores, juniors, and seniors have expressed interest in taking the district ACT that will be offered and administered here at the school, during the regular school day, on Tuesday, October 17th at 8:30 AM.

The cost to take the ACT is $51.75. Please send a check with your child to school next week written out to "Sanborn Central School" for $51.75. The school will then write a big check to ACT. Please have your student return the check to me by Friday, October 13.
In an effort to help ease text anxiety and help gain confidence in themselves, I have arranged ACT prep sessions for students to attend, which started today.
Here is the ACT Prep schedule:
Friday, October 13 at 11:35-12:25: Students will review their answers and go through practice problems with Mrs. Wilson
Monday, October 16 at 11:35-12:25: ACT strategies and tips presentation with myself (Ms. Amundson)
Tuesday, October 17 at 8:30 AM (students arrive between 8:00-8:15 AM to prepare themselves): ACT District Test Day!
With it being an orange day today there weren't many seniors that attended the ACT prep session today. If seniors would like to take the ACT science practice test Monday morning at 7:45 AM, I would be happy to sit in the room with them and start the timer.
Please reach out to me with any questions and/or concerns. 
Ms. Amundson
