Attention all students and parents:

This test is for JUNIORS ONLY. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Seniors will NOT attend school on this day. All students are invited to consult virtually with their teachers from 1:00–2:25 PM.

Students should bring their fully charged, school-issued Chromebook, #2 pencils, and an appropriate calculator. See www.myact.org for additional information.
