Deer Valley Unified School District is providing all junior students with an opportunity to take the ACT test at no cost.  The ACT test will be given at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 27^th. There is some pre-bubbling that you will need to do ahead of time.  This will happen on Wednesday, February 14^th and Thursday, February 15^th during AcaPrep.  Junior students will be assigned to a room where a staff member will walk you through the process. It is very important for you to be here on February 14^th and 15^th for this task as you will not be able to participate in ACT testing if the pre-bubbling is not done. Room assignments will be posted to the Junior class in Canvas and sent via Canvas email as well.  Please make sure you know which room to report to. See your counselor if you have any questions.

The Art Club will meet tomorrow, Friday after school in room CC303.
