CLASS OF 2021 - TESTING UPDATE
Due to COVID 19 restrictions and guidelines, we understand that registering for ACT and SAT national testing dates have been problematic. We have been working with both organizations that oversee the administration of testing to add additional weekend testing days in September and October held at BHS.
Seniors will be taking the state required SAT on September 23, 2020 during the school day. All seniors must sit for this school day administration, as it is a graduation requirement. There is no action required, BHS will register all seniors.
We are pleased to inform you that BHS has been approved by ACT to be a District Testing Administration Site for the ACT. In order to alleviate some of the stress our Seniors are under, we have been granted permission to administer the ACT on October 6, 2020. This exam is exclusively for the BHS Class of 2021. Registration and payment instructions will be emailed out to all Seniors and their parents by the end of the day on Monday, August 10th. Deadline for registering is August 26, 2020. Although BHS will host the test, all guidelines and requirements set by ACT must be adhered to.
Guidelines for testing:
See calculator policy here
Students must wear a mask at all times when in the building
Students must adhere to the social distancing guidelines and stay 6 feet apart.
October 6, 2020 is a scheduled school day, therefore, all registered test takers will be excused for the classes they will miss due to testing, however test takers are responsible for any missed work.
Please continue to check the SAT and ACT sites to register for the additional approved and posted testing dates.
