ACT practice test opportunity

It is not too late to sign up for the Practice ACT Test, a fundraiser for Jaguar DECA.

It will take place Saturday, February 4th, at 8:00 a.m. at Jefferson High School.  

Students will take a full ACT practice test (no written portion), including an extra reading section to gauge the students reading speed.  Sylvan Learning has found that reading speed is a large indicator on how well students do on the ACT.  

The tests are scored so students know how they did, including a diagnostic report and access to SylvanPrep.com.

On Monday, February 13th, at 6:30PM, Sylvan Learning will hold a results meeting in the cafeteria.  Students will get their results, learn how to read them, and get general information on how to improve their ACT score.  This meeting is designed for students and/or parents.

Students can sign up for the ACT Practice Test online at  Practice ACT Signup.  Payment can be turned into Ms. Linscheid in the Career Center by January 20th. If you have questions you can call Mr. Roesler (952) 806-7645 or email eroesler@isd271.org.

The cost is only $15.00, checks payable to ISD#271.

AP Update for DA STEM students planning on taking the AP Calc BC exam

Dear DA STEM students,  The College Board has been changing their plans.  They announced on 3/20/2020 that they are developing secure 45-minute online free-response exams for each course.  The exam content will focus on what most schools were able to complete by early March.   This means that the AP Calc BC exam will mostly focus on skills/topics you learned in Calc I.  Here is the list of sections that are historically on the AP Calc BC exam. Then I have included the topics that they currently are saying won’t be covered on the exam.    First column is the sections that WILL be covered in the exam, and the second is those that WILL NOT be covered Calculus BC** Units 1-8 + 5 topics in Unit 10 (10.2, 10.5, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.11) Unit 9, Unit 10 (except Topics 10.2, 10.5, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.11) They are saying that it will be a 45 minute free response exam, which likely means 3 questions. The College B...
