Good morning juniors and parents,
\nWith upcoming ACT\/SAT season upon us I wanted to send out an email with information and resources for the upcoming months.
\n1) PSAT<\/strong>
\nUnfortunately to everyone\u2019s frustration we have still not received the PSAT scores. This is a universal issue that is spanning across multiple states and\u00a0unfortunately there is nothing we can do. We have been told that we should receive these scores by the end of this month.
\nAll juniors will be doing their LINK internships at this time, which will make it difficult to meet individually with students to review the scores as\u00a0originally intended. However, once scores are received I intend to reach out to students and parents that are still in the area and could come in for\u00a0appointments to review their scores. I will also reach out to students that are not in the area but are able to meet either via Skype or Google Hangouts\u00a0during the month of March. All juniors will have met with me individually by the end of April to review their scores.
\n2) ACT in April<\/strong>
\nAs previous emails have stated all juniors will be taking the ACT either April 9th<\/sup> at a national testing location (ACT with writing) or on April\u00a019th<\/sup> at Animas High School (ACT without writing). Feb 10th was the deadline to get a voucher to take the ACT with writing. If you have questions about this process please contact our testing coordinator Dusty at tech@animashighschool.com<\/a> or 970-24-2474 ext. 2309.
\n3) ACT\/SAT Preparation <\/strong>
\nAnimas High School incorporates preparation for the ACT\/SAT throughout our entire curriculum. I believe this is demonstrated through what are current ACT\u00a0scores show when measured up against benchmarks, state, and national scores. Check out how we are doing below.

\nEven though teachers are preparing students for the content of these exams in their classes, students can also be preparing outside of school in a variety
\nof different formats. I have listed some various options for students and parents to pursue below.
