Lakota East High School will be administering the ACT on February 25th from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM to all current juniors (class of 2026).

All juniors are required to report to school at 8:00 AM. The test will be administered and then they will be dismissed around 12:30 PM.

Sophomores and seniors will NOT be required to attend school that day and should stay home.

 

ACT Schedule

 

Please remember that all juniors will take the ACT this coming Tuesday. Students should report to school at their normal time, but we strongly encourage them to arrive early so that they are not rushing to their testing locations. These locations will be shared with students on Monday. We would also like to remind our sophomores and seniors that they do not report to school on this day.

All juniors that are registered to take the ACT received their non-test packets during Hawktime this week. They are required to do this on their own. They will have until two days after they complete the ACT to finish the non-test activities for the ACT.

Part of the packet is a booklet that has everything they need to know about the test and the process of the test, please read this entire packet before coming in for the test on February 25. It has information regarding technology and permitted calculators and acceptable forms of ID that are required to test.

All students must have a photo ID to be admitted to the testing room. This is an ACT policy; please see Mr. MacFarlane if this is an issue.

All students must have a charged Chromebook to take the test; if they do not have this they may lose time during the test to get a loaner.

Students will be supplied with scratch paper. They should bring a writing utensil. This scratch paper is not graded so it does not need to be a #2 pencil, but the scratch paper is required to be collected at the end of the test per ACT’s requirements. 

Students will have a 15 min break between test two and three. This time can be used to use the restroom, get a drink or a snack. Per the ACT, no food or drink can be consumed in the testing room.

Electronics are not allowed from the start of the test until students are dismissed. If a student is using technology or if it makes a sound/vibration during the test or the break, the student will be removed from the test and their test will be invalid.
