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.

May 18, 2020 Dear DA STEM 9th and 10th graders and their parents/guardians, Congratulations on completing spring semester at Normandale in the Dimensions Academy STEM program.  You excelled in your college coursework - during a pandemic and when all instruction was moved online!  Roger and I were very impressed with how hard you worked under these new learning conditions. Additionally, we were thrilled to see how well the Normandale professors adjusted their teaching to online.  We were happy with the level of rigor they were able to maintain.   Grades:   I am pleased to announce that everyone in both cohorts earned As and Bs in their college classes this semester.  Normandale is offering their students the opportunity to take their classes pass/fail but my recommendation for you is to take your grade.  There are 2 benefits to taking your grade:  1.  It is doubtful that 4 years from now colleges will give you credit for ...

Think Before You Post

Harvard College recently rescinded admissions offers to at least ten prospective members of the Class of 2021 after the students traded sexually explicit memes and messages that  targeted minority groups in a private Facebook group chat. Last week I took a group of DA9th graders to Macalester College and the admissions officer told us they were looking for students that are both academically talented AND empathetic to others.   Please think before you post but also think about how you portray yourself.   http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/6/5/2021-offers-rescinded-memes/
