Newsletter - The Week of April 17, 2022

Welcome Back!

With spring break behind us, I hope students had a fun, relaxing and restful week off from school. With less than 30 days of school left, let's finish strong. We have AP testing, state testing, award ceremonies and final exams all within this time frame. We look forward to seeing our students on Monday!

June ACT Registration

Don't wait much longer if you plan on taking the ACT Test on June 11th. The registration deadline is May 6th. 

ACT Registration Page

We strongly encourage students to take the ACT many times their junior and senior year. Many post-secondary institutions super score ACT results meaning they take the highest subsections of all of the time we take the ACT. 

If in April you scored one or two points higher in science than you did the last time you did, they look at the highest science score and record this as your official score for science. 

The progress suggestions that come with the ACT results to increase the students knowledge and performance to the next level is a great tool to continue the improvement.  

Students that have free/reduced lunch status can take the ACT for free twice, in addition to the state provided ACT test for all juniors in March. Students with free/reduced lunch status should stop by the guidance office to pick up a form to receive two free ACT tests.

CERT Testing

CERT (College Equipped Readiness Tool) allows schools to assess students through either online or offline test administrations. Furthermore:

• All CERT tests are age-appropriate and aligned with the Career and College Readiness Standards
• All CERT tests cover the content areas included in the ACT: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science
• All CERT tests match the format (i.e., # of questions, question types, difficulty level, timing, etc.) of the current ACT, PLAN, and EXPLORE tests.

In addition to its assessment functionality, CERT provides remedial instruction to students through researched-based, instructional video lessons. Lessons can be accessed via:

• An online Exam Room that provides each student performance feedback and video answer explanations for each and every test question
• An online Study Hall that recommends subject-matter and strategy video lessons based on each individual student's performance

  Below is a link to a 3 minute  video of its potential. 

CERT

All 9th and 10th students and some juniors will be completing their reading and math only the week of April 18th.
