Hello FAHS Families and Students,
FAHS is committed to helping students do their very best on state requried standardized tests and supporting them with resources and information to make sure they are as comfortable and ready as possible. Our team has put together a couple sessions for your student so they are well prepared on their testing date coming up in March. Below you will find a list of dates that will be necessary for you to add to your calendar. In addition, we ask that you refrain from any appointments or absences on these review and testing dates. (NOTE: Seniors have no state testing requirements and do not need to attend these sessions.)
Registration | Info Sessions - these sessions will take place during Academic Flex Time in the IMC. Registration | Info Sessions will help students understand how to navigate the test, rent a calculator if needed and clear|set their school issued Chromebook for optimal performance during the assessment.
NOTE : Students MUST bring their fully charged Chromebook to these sessions and they must use their school issued Chromebook for the state assessment due to a secure browser that is installed on these devices.
February 5th - Juniors Last Names A-L
February 6th - Juniors Last Names M-Z
February 7th - Sophomores Last Names A-L
February 11th - Sophomores Last Names M-Z
February 12th - Freshmen Last Names A-K
February 13th - Freshmen Last Names L-Z
Success Sessions - these sessions will take place on February 18th and 19th during their regularly scheduled math class and will be held in the IMC. Success Sessions will prepare students for the actual assessment by providing additional resources and testwise strategies for them to perform and score at their best ability. Students will attend only one of these two dates.
NOTE: Students MUST bring their fully charged Chromebook to these Success Sessions! Students should also bring their fall Practice ACT Score sheet (but you can also find this in your Google Homeroom classroom if you filled it out in a previous Homeroom time.)
JEDI students - you are welcome and encouraged to attend any of the following sessions that work best for your schedule. AFT runs from 9:38-10:08 and you can choose one of the Success Session dates that works for you. Math classes run on this bell schedule. Please email me at scheuerelll@fortschools.org so I know what day to expect you.
As a reminder, the spring ACT Dates this year are as follows (please save these dates on your calendar!):
- Juniors - Tuesday, March 18th (schedule to follow soon). Freshmen, Sophomores and Seniors will have an alternate virtual learning day from home.
- Freshmen and Sophomores - Wednesday, March 19th (schedule to follow soon). Juniors and Seniors will have an alternate virtual learning day from home.
- Sophomores also have the Social Studies Forward Exam the afternoon of March 19th.
- Breakfast and lunch will be served on these dates.
- Buses run as normal on testing dates, so those riding the bus can wait in the Commons for their ride at the end of the normal school day or you can make alternative arrangements to get home for the day. In general, most students will be done by 12:00-12:30.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Leigh Ann Scheuerell , FAHS Principal
