On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, all 11th grade students will take the ACT with Writing. This assessment includes five sections: English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing, and the full administration takes approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes to complete.
To accommodate this important assessment, 9th, 10th, and 12th grade students will participate in an e-learning day on March 10. These students will not report to campus, and instruction will take place virtually.
All 11th grade students are required to report to their school campus to complete the ACT with Writing.
Please make sure your 11th grade student arrives at school on time, well rested, and ready to do their best. Students should plan to remain at school for the entire testing session. Your support in helping them prepare and arrive on time is greatly appreciated.
This schedule adjustment only impacts high schools. All other grade levels will proceed with normal operations and will not be affected.
