ACT - WorkKeys Assessment
All juniors will be taking the ACT or WorkKeys assessment on Tuesday, April 4th.
This will be a normal school day for all other students. All juniors will resume their normal schedule after taking their test.
Students taking the ACT need to go straight to the event center to check in and find their seats. Doors will lock at 8:00. They can not be late. Students need a calculator, a number 2 pencil and eraser, and their ID. Their belongings will go upstairs in the event center against the wall with all phones and smart watches turned off. Students will get a break and be given a drink and a snack. Students should get a good night's rest and eat breakfast!
Students that are taking the WorkKeys assessment need to report to the multipurpose gym. Students need to have their Chromebooks with them and they need to be charged! There is a built-in calculator for the test they can use unless they prefer to use their own.
