NEW INFORMATION for Current Juniors
Due to the district ACT test date not being able to be offered due to school closure, current Juniors can receive a voucher to take the ACT on one of the summer national test dates.
The Summer national test dates are June 13 and July 18.
If Juniors haven’t responded to the phone survey that went out last Friday, they can call the school to add their name by April 21st at 3pm. This will add their name to the list to receive a voucher.

FAFSA Help via ICAN
If you are still needing to do your Financial Aid Application (FAFSA) for college this coming fall, ICAN is offering Virtual Appointments to help you with this process. You will be sent a meeting link to join a meeting via Zoom. You don’t need Zoom – you just use the link to join. You would do the FAFSA (or create the FSA IDs and do the FAFSA – whatever help it is you need), but you will be guided through the process as you go.
If you are interested in a virtual appointment or want more information, you can contact Mary Joan Dougherty, the NW Iowa Advisory, directly at 515-402-4211 or email her at mjdougherty@icancsucceed.org. The online scheduling option is still available as well:
