As one of the most influential people in your child’s life,
you have the opportunity to help him or her understand the importance of
preparing for life in high school and beyond.
While high school graduation day may seem far in the future, now is a critical time to make sure
your child is prepared to take that next step after graduation, whether that means starting college or training, or
starting a career.
Our school will be giving ACT Explore to all 8th
graders on March 4 and 5, 2015. ACT Explore
provides an early opportunity for your child to build plans for the future and review
academic progress toward college and career readiness. Assessing your child’s academic strengths and
areas of need while still in middle school allows him or her to make timely
coursework adjustments to get, or stay, on target for their educational and
career goals.
Taking ACT Explore also provides other benefits for your
child, including:
· Exploring
college majors and career areas that match their interests
· An
early indicator of college and career preparation
· Areas
needing extra help or additional courses
· Suggestions
for improving academic skills
Please make every effort to have your child in school on our EXPLORE assessment days. Thank you for your support and encouragement as you help
your child reach his or her greatest potential.
