ACT & Pre-ACT testing was stopped today due to ACT failure. The company was not able to restore service in a timely manner in order to complete the test prior to the end of the school day. All students are reporting to regular classes. Any student who turned in a permission slip to leave early after testing will be allowed to leave after 6th hour (1:13 pm). If a permission slip was not turned in, the student will stay at school until the end of the regular school day. Our administrative team is working to create a plan and will notify parents and students as soon as possible.
ACT testing is TOMORROW, April 8th for ALL Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors.
Seniors are NOT in attendance.

1. CHARGE your Chromebooks
