Connections is Back this Week!!!
Connections Information to Share
Report cards go home on Monday in 4th period
There will be a buy-out on November 8 during Connections. Students must bring money to attend faculty/student basketball game. All money goes to support Veterans.
Third year students will be taking the ACT OR SAT next semester at the state's expense. A letter will be sent home with report cards for students to SELECT the test and get a signature from their parents. There are three options and ALL require a parent signature
1. I will take the SAT
2. I will take the ACT
3. I will not take either test
Information will be included in the letter to assist them with making an informed decision. This is an opportunity to take one of the tests required to attend a four year college.
Connections sessions on November 1, 8 and 15 will be one hour. Beginning November 29, the time will be reduced to 30 minutes. This is in response to teacher and student feedback about the program.
