Testing Update - ASPIRE/Forward/Civics/AP/ACT
Due to the Coronavirus concerns, Governor Evers has waived all state standardized testing that was scheduled to take place in April. This means we will not have students take the Aspire or Forward tests.
Students in American Government are still required to take the Civics Exam as part of the coursework as it is a graduation requirement for all students in Wisconsin. Students with extreme extenuating circumstances prohibiting them from taking the Civics Exam should speak with their American Government teacher or guidance counselor as soon as possible.
AP Testing will still be taking place in May. However, students will be testing online via the College Board's online testing system. Students in AP courses should look for more information from Mr. Heidtke sent via email.
The national ACT testing that was scheduled for April has been cancelled. Students who registered to take the ACT in April will be contacted by ACT to reschedule their testing to the June or July test dates, both of which are currently scheduled as planned.

New "Scholarship Postings" Shared Drive!
All current scholarship applications have now been uploaded to the new "Scholarship Postings" shared drive! Seniors can access the new shared drive by going to their "Google Drive" and clicking "Shared Drives" on the left task bar.
Seniors who need to submit scholarships to the high school should scan your application and send it to Ms. Tiffany Michaud or Ms. Danielle Hatfield. Scholarships can also be mailed to the high school as long as the envelope is post marked on or before the scholarship due date. If you have questions regarding a scholarship, please reach out to Ms. Michaud or Ms. Hatfield via email.
Scholarship Award Notifications Needed
Seniors - If you have been informed that you will be awarded a scholarship, please fill out the Scholarship Notification form and submit any documentation you have to Ms. Tiffany Michaud. Official notification can be submitted by scanning in your award letter and emailing it to Ms. Michaud.
All seniors receiving scholarships will be recognized at the Senior Awards Night on Wednesday, May 20. Due to COVID-19 concerns, we may not be able to hold this event in a traditional setting. We are currently exploring other possibilities at this point and more information will be communicated via email and through this publication as we go along.
