This week the deep freeze continued as we had a cold day on Thursday. While I know that these days are a rite of passage for students and certainly a day off is a big deal we need to make sure that when we are using social media we are communicating with administrative staff in the correct manner.

While some students social media responses are funny when advocating for a snow day, some are not the way to communicate with adults. When communicating with Dr. Ryba, or any other admin please keep the communication the same as you would if you were speaking directly to one of us. Using inappropriate language, or being disrespectful is not ok in person nor is it ok online.

ACT day is March 1st for all juniors. All juniors are required to attend that day and take the ACT. I am including sign up info for those of you who would like to register your student for a prep class being offered at SHS.

Premium, Cost-Effective ACT Preparation

Thursday, February 24, 2022, 7:45 a.m. to 2:25 p.m.

Strongsville High School

Almost every Ohio high school student now takes the ACT. Securing a good score can assure graduation, qualify students for CCP opportunities, &, perhaps most importantly, help students gain admission to college & obtain essential financial aid.

Our six-hour preparation seminar helps demystify the ACT by explaining

--the test’s structure,

--the academic content covered on it, &

--testing & time management strategies students can employ to maximize their performance.

Students learn specific, tangible strategies to answer more questions correctly, how to decipher questions designed to thwart their performance, & specific academic content that is regularly tested on the ACT.

Each participant gets

--six hours of live, engaging, interactive instruction,

--a comprehensive, 400-page, reference workbook,

--a guided outline of ACT test-taking strategies,

--a recommended five-week study guide,

--online access to over 1000 additional practice test questions, &

--free, live, phone-in pre-test tutoring.

Next Level Prep is Ohio’s leader in ACT preparation. We currently work with over 100 Ohio high schools & thousands of students (urban, suburban, & small town/rural) each year around the state. Our typical students see a 2.0 composite point increase on the ACT after taking our seminar.

Students emerge justifiably confident. —with decidedly less anxiety—about their prospects on the test.]

“The lessons were AMAZING. You were very informative & extremely engaging. You kept the seminar interesting & were very inclusive.” --JB, Centennial HS

“The time management strategies were really helpful.”

--PB, Copley HS
