Attention all 11th grade students:

 

The ACT will be administered in our district on Wed. April 19 and the MCA will be on Wed. May 3.  These tests are important for college entrance and colleges use the results to place you in the correct college math class.  In an effort to be proactive about many of you passing this test, we are offering online practice and instruction along with PRIZES.

 

What can you do to be prepared?

Use the www.usatestprep.com website!  For each test you complete your name will go into a drawing for great prizes like $10 and $25 gift cards to Kwik Trip and the Eyota Market.
