Our last Career, College, and Life Readiness Day for the year is scheduled for Wednesday, April 12. Details about grade-level expectations and schedules are outlined below:
Freshmen
and Sophomores: Participate in ACT Secure and Forward Exam Testing
- All Freshmen
and Sophomores will take the ACT Secure and Forward Test. The ACT Secure
will provide students with an indication of their current level of
performance and if they are on track to be college-ready upon graduation.
- CLICK HERE to review an important letter from Mrs.
Anders about the pre-test sessions, registrations, and Students will
report to OHS as normal at 7:20am and be assigned to small group testing
rooms. The letter linked above outlines the staggered dismissal times of
our students based on the test they are taking. Students are welcome to be
picked up at their dismissal time, but are also welcome to stay at OHS
until the buses depart at their normal time of 2:47pm. schedule.
Juniors: Non-School Day
- Juniors do not need to report to OHS on Wednesday, April 12.
- Seniors are
required to report to OHS to participate in our Life Ready: Reality Check
simulation. In partnership with Bank Five Nine and dozens of other
community businesses and partners, students will be able to experience the
financial realities that come with independent living. Every year we get
rave reviews from our seniors about the experience and we are excited that
we can offer this opportunity to the Class of 2023!
- CLICK HERE to learn more about the
simulation and your assigned arrival time.
- During the week of April 3-7, all seniors will be given a preview
of this event and lesson during Pride. On the day of the event, the expectation
is that all our seniors will arrive at their assigned time and be dressed
in business casual attire.
Our Career, College, and Life Readiness Days are essential in helping fulfill our vision of helping all our Raccoons become Career, College, and Life ready! Details about the 2023-2024 Career, College, and Life Readiness Days will be shared in August.
If you have any questions about the activities and schedules on April 12, please feel free to contact myself, Mrs. Anders (andersm@oasd.org), Mrs. Stefan (stefank@oasd.org), or your counselor.
Have a
great day!
Jason
