• The ACT will take place during the regular school day on Tuesday, March 2, at your student’s home building.

• Students should arrive to school at their normal start time. The test will begin at 7:20 a.m. and will last 4-5 hours.

• Students will be dismissed at approximately Noon, once all testing is complete. Bus riders will remain at school until normal dismissal at 2:20 p.m. Students staying for the bus may wish to pack a lunch, or purchase a Grab-and-Go lunch option at school.

• All students will be counted for a full day of attendance.

• Students will take the ACT in classrooms, and there will be no more than 10 students in a classroom. This is to ensure that there is appropriate spacing and that no students are in close contact (less than 6 feet for more than 15 minutes) with one another.  

• All Juniors are already registered for the ACT; you do not need to do anything else at this time.

• To ensure appropriate testing space and availability of test proctors, Freshmen, Sophomores and Seniors at Francis Howell High, Francis Howell Central and Francis Howell North will have a virtual asynchronous day of learning on March 2; students in grades 9, 10, and 12 will not report to school or log on for live virtual sessions that day.
