ACT Testing: Just a reminder that juniors should take their ACT test this year. Some students have already taken one. As a school we suggest that juniors take ACT during the summer following their junior year. This allows them to finish Algebra 2 before taking the test. They also have several opportunities to retake the test during the fall and winter their senior year. The test date for this summer is June 12. Students MUST register by MAY 7. If you have questions about this contact Mrs. Schouten. Also if you are interested there is an ACT Test Prep course offered at UW Fond du Lac on Saturdays in April and May.
