ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Attention Junior Parents:              On Tuesday, March 11, all juniors will be given the ACT at
Warren East High School. There will be no costs to the students. This test will count for college
admission, scholarship consideration, NCAA eligibility, and Kentucky Educational Excellence
Scholarship money just as any other ACT Test administration would. We ask that you encourage
your student to be well rested and to do his or her best on this very important test. Students will be
given ACT practice tests and other test preparation materials in homeroom on February 29. In
addition, students may attend ESS after school on March 4 and March 6 for additional help on the
ACT, and they may utilize http://number2.com/ for free ACT Test preparation online.
