Just a reminder that this Monday, March 16th and Tuesday, March 17th ALL sophomores will be taking the ACT in all 5 subject areas to prepare for the state required ACT their junior year. We will be testing in Mr. Steele's room both mornings (David - we can switch rooms those mornings). The school is paying for breakfast for the class both days and our lunch ladies are graciously making the meals and having them ready for us both mornings- this will be set up in Mr. Steele's room by 7:45 AM. I encouraged all students to arrive between 7:45-8:00 AM both days to ensure plenty of time to eat and mentally prepare before the test. The test is online so I informed them they need to bring their laptops and chargers.
