Collegiate Academy
10th & 11th Graders!
If you are interested in applying to be in a collegiate academy, please apply using this link. This is different from the career exploration pathways used for course selection. A collegiate academy is an advanced pathway that allows you to earn your way toward an associates degree while you are still in high school. A flyer and FAQ document is attached with additional information. If you have any questions after reading the below information, please contact Mrs. Snow or your regular counselor.
Requirements to qualify to be in a collegiate academy:
- Possess and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA
- Maintain excellent attendance (0 unexcused absences and 0 unexcused tardies)
As soon as you apply, your qualifications will be reviewed by a counselor. If you qualify, your counselor, yourself, and a parent/guardian will work together on your plan and apply for Start College Now. You must be signed up for Start College Now in order to take the college classes in your collegiate academy. Start College Now applications are due by March 1st.
If you don't meet the above requirements, you can still apply for Start College Now and other college credit programs. Please communicate with your counselor to make sure you don't miss important deadlines for any such programs you may be interested in.
ACT - March 8, 2022
According to Wisconsin Statute, districts are required to assess high school students in 11th grade. The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) partnered with ACT to provide these assessments. Students in 11th grade will take the ACT on March 8th.
The ACT is a paper-pencil, multiple‐choice assessment in four areas: English, math, reading, and science, with an additional 40‐minute writing essay.
In order to create the most optimal testing environment for students, March 8th will be a “Juniors Only” day. High school students in grades 9, 10, and 12 will not attend classes on March 8th (all day).
The ACT administered on March 8th is identical to the one offered at various locations on Saturday mornings. Students will have the opportunity to have their scores sent to potential colleges that they might be interested in applying to. This opportunity typically has a cost associated with it but will be free to all of our 11th grade students.
The purpose of sending this communication is to ensure that all students are in attendance during the testing date, March 8th by 7:30am.
9th, 10th and 12th Grade Students and Families
All 9th, 10th and 12th grade students do NOT have school on March 8th, 2022. The 11th grade students will be taking the ACT and the building will be closed to all other students and the public in order to ensure a high quality testing environment.
11th Grade Students and Families
All 11th grade students will be taking the ACT at Beloit Memorial High School on March 8th. Students should report to the building between 7:30-7:45am. 11th graders are encouraged to leave their backpack and devices at home during testing. All devices and personal belongings that are brought to school will be stored in a secure location during testing. Students will be released as they finish the test, typically around 1:00pm.
During Testing on the 8th, BMHS will be closed to the public.
