ACT Aspire Test Information for Sophomores:
The Sophomores will take the ACT Aspire Exams on April 25th and 26th. The test is made by the same company that produces the American College Test (ACT) which is the college entrance exam for many colleges/universities. The scores from the ACT Aspire will give students a predicted score on the ACT. Subjects tested will be English, reading, writing, science and math. Sophomores will need to be on time both days, ready to test. Be sure to get plenty of sleep before the test, have a good breakfast, and make sure you are on time for school. We ask parents try to not check their child out during this test so that your student can have time to complete the test and give their best effort. We look forward to our students having the opportunity to show what they have learned this year!
April 25 & 26, Juniors and Seniors Only!
Juniors and Seniors will be excused April 25th and 26th due to the large number of Sophomores who will be taking the ACT Aspire on those days.
