ACT Test for Juniors

Students that have signed up for the ACT exam will be taking the ACT test in the KHS Gym on March 1, 2022 (Tuesday).  
I will be emailing the students that signed up for the ACT exam soon, asking if they will be eating school lunch on 3-1-22 (exam day).  This will reserve their lunch and help give the cafeteria a lunch count so that enough lunches are set aside.
On exam day, students should report directly to the gym for their ACT exam.  Please make sure that you arrive early.  Students will be able to enter the gym from 7:45 am (bring your student ID).  The test will begin at 8 am.  Once the test has started no late admittance will be accepted. 
Students, please bring your Student ID/Driver's License, mask, jacket, snacks, water, pencils, and an ACT-approved calculator.  Lunch will be served for examinees after the exam has been completed.
The KHS Library has many copies of the ACT prep guide available to check out.  MyACT.org has practice tests available for you as well.

Any questions, please let me know.

​Personal Transition Plan
