ACT
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS. Wednesday, March 11th, IS THE ACT EXAM FOR ALL JUNIORS!! Juniors are automatically signed up and do not need to do anything to register for this exam. They should, however, set up their accounts at ACT.org if they want the ability to access their scores and send those scores to colleges and/or Universities of their choice for free. Be aware that sending scores to colleges and/or Universities of their choice will only be free from the time they set up their accounts before March 11th to ONLY TWO DAYS after they take the test. That means the deadline to have scores sent for free is March 13th.
Freshmen, sophomores, and seniors WILL NOT REPORT TO SCHOOL on exam day. JUNIORS MUST REPORT TO THEIR ASSIGNED ROOMS NO LATER THAN 7:20 AM FOR THE ACT EXAM on Wednesday, March 11th. REMEMBER TO BRING A FULLY CHARGED, SCHOOL-ISSUED CHROMEBOOK, A PENCIL, AND A CALCULATOR. DO NOT BRING YOUR CELL PHONES. DO NOT FORGET YOUR PHOTO ID!
AP Exam Deadline
FINAL NOTICE!!!
ATTENTION STUDENTS, if you plan to take any AP exam at the end of the year, you need to make sure you have registered for that exam now! THE ABSOLUTE FINAL DAY TO ORDER AN AP EXAM, WITH AN ADDITIONAL $40 LATE FEE, IS MARCH 6, 2026. Check your CollegeBoard account to confirm your classroom icon indicates you are registered for the exam in May. Make sure both steps of the registration process are complete to have an exam ordered.
