?EMAIL/LETTER TO SEND TO PARENTS ABOUT NATIONAL TESTINGPlease feel free to share this message with parents.Dear [parent or guardian],As we approach the end of the school year, your child is in an excellent position to measure his or her readiness for life after high school. If you are considering college admission testing for your child for the first time—or as a retest to maximize their scores—we encourage June testing because concepts from this school year are fresh in their minds. The June 10 ACT test is the last test that guarantees your student will have their scores to meet early admission decisions.Research has shown that by fall, students lose between 2 to 6 weeks of learning. Testing while they’re still in “school mode,” with the material still on their mind, will set them up for the best chance of success. Sign your child up for the June 10 ACT? test by May 5 at theact. Taking the ACT is an important step toward the future for students: It can help them get into college (88% of US colleges consider test scores important in admission decisions)It gives them information on majors and careers in which they may excelTheir scores can lead to scholarship and financial aid opportunitiesYou can help your child do his or her best by reminding them of the importance of class participation, since the ACT tests students on what they learn in the classroom. You can also provide them with the free and low-cost test prep tools from ACT online at theact/testprep. We hope your child has a positive experience with the test.Regards, [Signature]P.S.
