SENIORS: Since your free ACT test was cancelled last spring due to the pandemic, you will be taking the ACT for FREE on Tuesday, September 22nd at school.
You will complete your demographics the week of September 14th-18th. If you have a guided study, guided study intervention or service learning period first semester, you will complete demographics on Monday or Tuesday September 14th or September 15th. If you do NOT have a guided study, guided study intervention or service learning period first semester OR you are a Middle College OR a ConnectOR senior you should have received an email from Mrs. Beth Estep last week to complete the survey as to which date and time Wednesday-Friday of September 16th 18th that you would like to come complete pre-test demographics. For all pre-test demographics sessions, seniors will be socially distanced for safety. Please bring your own #2 lead pencils. YOU CANNOT take the test if you have not completed pre-test demographics first and as a reminder taking the ACT (or SAT) at least once is a requirement for graduation in Tennessee. On test day, we have also assigned a very small number per each test room for safety measures. (9/3-9/4) – K. Rowland
