Juniors Take the ACT at Rogers-Herr M.S. - March 15
The 2022 ACT will be held on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at Rogers-Herr Middle School, 911 W Cornwallis Rd, Durham, NC 27707. Students will be provided bus transportation, if needed. DPS will provide a bagged breakfast and lunch.
Note: All JUNIORS are REQUIRED to take the exam. The exam will start by 9:00 am and will last until approximately 1:30 pm, standard administration. More details are forthcoming, outlining the arrival time and what you can expect for the test day. Students will be required to participate in a pre-test session prior to the test date.
For now, you must complete the following:
1. If you will miss a college synchronous course on the day of the test, you will need to complete the DTCC Absence Form: An excused absence is defined as a planned absence. Durham Tech students are allowed one (1) excused absence per class per term for a planned event or observance. Students who wish to use an excused absence must submit an Excused Absence Notification form and any supporting documentation at least fourteen (14) calendar days in advance of the scheduled absence date.
There are no exceptions to this deadline. Start this process NOW!
2. Please read each email from Mrs. Tugman regarding the ACT carefully and promptly. By staying apprised of the process, it will make your testing experience on the 15th much easier and less stressful.
Please contact Ms. Tugman (sarah_tugman@dpsnc.net) for more information.
