Families,
We hope you had a great Easter! This week continues our Spring End of Course testing. Here are some great steps to be best prepared for testing.
-Please make sure all students manually update their computers and shut it down completely over the break. Students should be able to access TestNav on their computer if it is fully up to date.
-It is also important that students familiarize themselves with a list of all prohibited items, specifically that not electronic devices besides the student issued computer is allowed in the testing classrooms. A list of all prohibited items can be found on the Tennessee Department of Education website. Engaging in any prohibited behavior will result in a zero and the test invalidated.
-Students and staff cannot not access any testing materials that are not theirs, nor shall they review or discuss any of the questions before, during, or after testing.
-Students and staff cannot copy, photograph, share, or reproduce any testing materials.
-Students and staff must follow all proper testing policies and procedures outlined in the test administration manual.
-Students and staff cannot engage in any activity not related to testing while in the test room. This includes no access to phones, smartwatches, AirPods, computer programs or websites.
-Any violation of Tennessee testing procedures outlined in the Test Security Manual may result in the exam being invalidated and not scored
Best of luck Redskins!
If students are not enrolled in one of the state tested courses, they will rotate through their classes and continue working towards mastery in each class.
Congratulations to Valaria, Gabby, Brock, Robbie and Brittany for making LHS great!

Important Reminder that Tuesday, March 18 is the official Junior ACT.
The ACT is a state requirement for graduation in Tennessee. On Tuesday, the Juniors will be taking the official ACT on the computer. It is crucial that students fully update their computers. Please have your students “check for updates” in the search bar on their computers. Then, please make sure the TestNav program will launch from their desktop. In addition, students were given information regarding their MyACT account. Please make sure your Junior has created and account and completed the non-test materials. Following their ACT, the Juniors will eat and be able to go home.
It is important that during testing students remember:
They may not have a cell phone, Apple/smart watch, tablet, earpods, or Bluetooth-enabled device on their person during testing.
If students bring any of these items to school on a day they are testing, they must be provided to the Test Administrator to be secured prior to the start of all testing sessions.
Not to talk to other students or make any disturbance.
Not look at another student’s test materials.
Not ask for or provide help in answering any test questions.
Use only approved materials for taking notes.
Not have access to or use any electronics or recording devices at any time during the testing session, including breaks.
To follow all instructions provided by the Test Administrator
Failure to follow these rules may lead to a student having their test invalidated and/or subject to disciplinary action. We encourage you to discuss these rules with your son or daughter, and to contact the school if you have any questions. Thanks for your continued support!
Seniors will remain at home on Tuesday, March 18, to work on their college and career readiness. If they need to improve their grade, make up assignments, or need remediation, we ask that they come to school that day.
All Sophomores and any freshmen enrolled in an honors course will take the practice ACT on paper then will rotate through their normal classes after lunch. This data will allow ACT prep teachers to personalize instruction to assist students for the official ACT.
Freshmen will rotate through study halls and tutoring sessions in the morning, then they will rotate through normal classes after lunch.
Good luck on Tuesday for the ACT!
