Junior ACT Information - VERY IMPORTANT
|
Please do not skip over this important information regarding required ACT testing.
The dates for the ACT and ACT WorkKeys tests are quickly approaching, occurring on Tuesday, March 1 and Wednesday, March 2, respectively. All juniors are required by state law to take these tests, and the tests can only be taken on these dates, or their makeup dates of March 17 and March 18, respectively.
It is critically important that every effort be made for your junior child to be in attendance and on time to school on these test dates. Any student absent on both the test date and its makeup date will not be allowed to makeup the test at any other time.
Here is some additional, important information you need to know that applies to both the ACT and ACT WorkKeys tests. These rules are mandated by ACT, not HUHS.
- All juniors will be assigned to a room for testing. That location will be communicated to them prior to the test date.
- Juniors should plan to arrive to their testing room by 7:20 and no later than 7:25, like any other school day. Students who arrive after testing has begun cannot take the test that day.
- Students must have #2 pencils (no mechanical pencils) and a picture ID, such as their student ID or driver's license; an ACT-approved calculator is also strongly recommended.
- There is no eating or drinking allowed in the testing room. Students may bring food and drink, but only to be consumed during a 15-minute break to occur sometime between 9:30 and 10:00. Exceptions may be made for documented medical reasons, but must be communicated to Chad Ellefson, Test Coordinator, prior to March 1 and preferably as soon as possible.
- Cell phones and electronic devices, other than calculators, are not allowed in the test room, nor can they be used during breaks. Any student known to have a cell phone in the test room, or who uses any electronic device, other than a calculator, during testing or breaks, will be dismissed from testing. This includes phones buzzing or beeping during testing and breaks.
- Students may not read, talk, or do other work while testing is in progress.
Your assistance in discussing these expectations with your child is greatly appreciated.
