Dear Parents of 10th and 11th Grade Students,
Please be advised that Lake Norman Charter is administering the ACT exam to all juniors and the Pre-ACT exam to all sophomores next Tuesday, February 23. All juniors and sophomores should report to school that day, including distance learners who wish to take the test, unless they are quarantining due to COVID-19. Cohorts do not apply on this day, as all juniors and sophomores come to campus. Freshmen and seniors will have an asynchronous day of learning from home this day to allow for all of our juniors and sophomores to be on campus to take the tests.
The state of North Carolina provides the funding for all juniors and sophomores to take the ACT and Pre-ACT. There is no registration or payment needed to sit for these tests. These are important tests as they are used for college applications and/or preparation purposes.
Juniors will take the ACT online so they must bring their laptops to school fully charged. Sophomores will take the Pre-ACT on paper so they should bring several sharpened pencils with erasers. Please make sure that your student gets a good night’s sleep, eats a good breakfast and arrives at school on time (by 7:45AM). Students need to bring an appropriate calculator and a water bottle and snack if they choose. Cell phones are prohibited in the testing room and are encouraged to be left in the car for those students who drive to school. Junior students are expected to be completed with the ACT by 12:00PM and sophomore students between 10:30-11AM. Students should plan to leave campus when they are finished, so if your student doesn’t drive, please make plans to pick your child up once they notify you that they are finished. Thank you for your support!
