Notes from Mrs. Gassman and the PBIS Team

Scrubs Camp in Huron, SD: Wednesday, October 1 at 8:30 AM-3:00 PM (Myself) **any freshmen-seniors interested in the medical field (students TBD)

College & Career Fair in Mitchell, SD: Thursday, October 9^th (all day) for Juniors and Seniors taken by myself and Mr. Steele - Senior Advisor) - We will make a whole day for this. Plan is for College Fair at DWU, campus tour of DWU, career fair at the fairgrounds, lunch, then end the day with a campus tour of MTC. We will plan to take one or both of the vans OR a van and the suburban.

Update: I am cancelling our registration for the Fall 2025 District ACT test on Wednesday, October 29. We do not have any seniors that would like to take the ACT this fall, and with the state requiring the juniors to take it in place of the Smarter Balance test in the spring.

**Spring ACT - I will host a district ACT test for sophomores only - the school will pay for all sophomores - this will be online to prepare for students as the ACT that is required their junior year is with the online format.

**ACT testing in place of smarter balance testing will be separate from the sophomore test (no cost to students - paid by the state - online format) - more information to come (Spring 2026)

ASVAB: Wednesday, November 5^th at 8:15-11:00 AM (Mrs. Gassman's room) for ALL juniors + any seniors who would like to retake the ASVAB. 

We will NOT have the seniors take the NCRC this school year. The state is now requiring schools to pay for this on their own, and we are finding the results to not be of much need or help for students.

Additionally, remember that juniors and seniors have two excused absences to go on college tours, career or college camps, etc each year, however, they do need to have their parents/guardians call the office and let Laura know they will be gone, and also need to inform their teachers when they will be absent.
