Good news, Spartans–we only have one five-day week in all of March! All students have no school on March 7 for parent-teacher conferences, March 10 for a staff professional learning day, and, for everyone except juniors, March 11 will be an asynchronous learning day for the ACT. Then, we will have spring break from March 24-28! This means most students will have a five-day weekend from March 7-11, and although juniors have the ACT on the 11th, they’ll still be able to enjoy a four-day weekend. For those juniors who might be feeling nervous about the ACT, here are some tips to keep in mind!

1. Don’t cram–use your long weekend to study.
2. Try practice tests under testing conditions.
3. Charge your Chromebook the night before.
4. Get a good night’s rest.
5. Eat a nourishing breakfast (staff will be cooking breakfast on the 11th at school!).
6. Use the method of elimination.
7. Read carefully.
8. Make guesses; there’s no penalty for them!
9. Skip questions you don’t immediately know the answer to.
10. Check over answers if you have extra time.

Enjoy your days off, Spartans, and for juniors, good luck on the ACT!
