ACADEMICS: College Readiness Assessment for All 3rd Year Students

On November 29th in Advisory, your student will receive a letter about College Readiness Assessments.  This year, your 3rd year student can choose to take EITHER the ACT, the SAT, or not to test.  On the back of the letter, you will need to indicate the selection for your student, sign it, and return it to the main office at Ridge View NO LATER THAN December 8th!  There will be a collection box in the main office for the returned letters.  You can click on the image to access the form.

Alternately, you can choose to log-in to your Parent Portal account to indicate your preference.  If you choose to make your selection in Parent Portal, do not return the letter.  If you make a selection in Parent Portal, and also return a letter, the selection in Parent Portal will be used for test selection purposes.

If no selection is made (and returned) by December 8th, your student will be assigned to take the ACT.
