Juniors will have the opportunity for an ACT Math prep session on Wed. January 29 during EXCEL period in Lecture Room C. Juniors may sign up through Edficiency.

The ACT Math prep session for juniors includes useful resources to help students study and prepare for the ACT math test.  Students are informed about the various categories that will be covered on the test, and how many questions will come from each category.  Additionally, students are informed of the top 100 concepts that most frequently appear on the 60 question ACT Math test, which helps them maximize their study time on task relative to the content of the test.  The session also includes a practice test with immediate answers and video descriptions for how the answers were determined.  

Ordinarily this ACT Math prep session takes close to 2 hours, but will be reduced to the highlights for the 28-minute long Excel session.

SCHOOL PICTURE INFORMATION

SENIOR ADS
Do you have a senior? This is a GREAT way to honor him or her, by taking out an ad in the Yearbook. Seniors love this, and it's a lot of fun. I have staff who are trained in designing these ads, so if you don't want to create your own (most parents don't), you can send us the pictures and what you'd like it to say, and we'll create it for you! Ads are due in mid-February, but we'll accept them as early as now. If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you a contract with more information. Prices are $200 for a full page ad, $120 for a half page ad, and our most popular, which is $75 for a quarter page ad. 

BABY PICTURES FOR SENIOR SLIDESHOW
North is unique in that we have a senior slideshow shown at graduation each year, to be included in the slideshow we will need the following from you:

1. Baby Picture (either email it to Ms. Sara Klein digitally or bring in a hard copy to Room 235 to scan)
2. Five or so friends pictures throughout the years. Try to only have seniors in the pictures if possible (but the pictures can be from when you were in elementary school or whatever)

I need at a minimum your baby picture, but if you'd like to also include friend pictures, those will be accepted as well. Thank you!

HOW TO SEND OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
Please remember that EACH college you apply to will require an official high school transcript be sent after you apply AND in June after graduation. 

To refresh your memory from the senior meeting, please visit the Oshkosh North Counseling Department website (https://oshkosh-north-high.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/counseling/college-career-development) to review the TWO ways to send your transcripts. 

Please note- it is your responsibility to get transcripts sent to the colleges in which you apply. The only exception to this is IF you apply to colleges via the Common Application. When you utilize the Common Application, transcripts are uploaded to your application by School Counselors. If you have any questions, please feel free to stop down or email Senior Counselor, Mrs. Erickson.
