UPCOMING EVENTS:
North Andrew will be providing ACT Workshops available for North Andrew students planning on taking the ACT during the 2011-2012 school year. Students will take a practice ACT test and then be tutored by a teacher with the questions on the test as well as understand how their composite score is obtained. Students may also earn a $25 stipend for scoring 25 or higher on the ACT if they attend the workshops and they will be reimbursed for taking the ACT if they complete the entire workshop (up to three (3) times taking the ACT tests). Students will be required to turn in $15 on the day they register and will receive $10 back when they show up for the workshop. The rest of the money will be used to provide lunch for the students.
