Dear High School Parents,
We are pleased to announce plans for our district ACT Testing Day on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Although the ACT is a state-mandated assessment for juniors, Bossier Schools expands testing opportunities to include sophomores and select seniors as part of our commitment to providing students with valuable college and career readiness opportunities. On this day:
All sophomores, juniors, and select seniors will take the ACT at their assigned schools during the school day.
Non-testers (students not scheduled to take the ACT) will participate in a virtual learning day from home on March 25th. This includes all 9th graders and any other students who aren’t assigned to take the ACT test that day.
This plan ensures that students can focus fully on the test in a quiet, structured environment while also accommodating the learning needs of other students.
Why is Taking the ACT Important for Students?
The ACT is a nationally recognized college admissions test that evaluates skills in English, math, reading, and science. It is an important step for students planning to pursue higher education. Taking the ACT multiple times has been shown to improve scores, as students gain familiarity with the test format and have additional opportunities to refine their skills. Higher ACT scores can lead to:
Increased college admissions opportunities.
Scholarships and financial aid eligibility.
More accurate placement in college courses.
Benefits of a District ACT Testing Day
Convenience: Students will take the ACT without needing to arrange for transportation or to test on the weekend.
Cost Savings: The district covers the testing fees for all eligible students.
Focused Environment: ACT testing during the school day reduces distractions and logistical challenges. All school staff are involved in ACT testing and all students attending school that day are taking the ACT.
Resources to Help Students Prepare
We encourage students to take advantage of the following resources to prepare for the ACT:
ACT Official Website: Free practice tests, question-of-the-day resources, and test-taking tips at www.act.org.
Online Tools: Platforms such as Khan Academy and ACT Academy offer personalized practice to build skills.
Study Sessions: Encourage your student to set aside dedicated time for preparation.
What Parents Can Do
Ensure your student gets plenty of rest the night before and eats a healthy breakfast on test day.
Remind them to bring approved materials, such as their school ID, a calculator, and pencils.
Encourage a positive mindset—confidence can make a big difference!
