Thank you, North Star, for pulling off a great ACT administration for our Juniors!  At this point, I want to make sure everyone knows that this is a 3-year pilot, so we are anticipating that LPS will continue with this for the next two school years.  Students should receive their score reports from ACT, and we may receive some school wide feedback sometime around the start of the 12-13 school year.

As we look at the month of May and finishing off the 11-12 school year, the initial "results" of our ACT test administration on 4/24/12 - great attendance, a serious tone, and a very positive effort from our kids - are a wonderfully positive sign about North Star as a school.  This was yet another whole-school example (along with our kids winning the State Sportsmanship Award for the Class A Boys Basketball Tournament and pulling off a fun, safe, Prom after it was postponed) of how our students demonstrate perseverance and respond positively and successfully when they are challenged with clear, high expectations.  Furthermore, it illustrates the power of our North Star staff to work efficiently and effectively on an "all hands on deck" project for the sake of our students.  North Star is heading in a very positive direction.  THANK YOU for working together to make this a great school!
