Dual Enrollment Economics

If you met your Economics requirement through Dual Enrollment, you must complete the EverFi course located on myPascoConnect. The access code is: 88ffe299

The course should take a few hours. When you are completed with the course, screenshot your certificate to apinsky@pasco.k12.fl.us

This is required to graduate.

PERT test for DE spring 2021

Are you interested in Dual Enrollment for the summer or your senior year? Is your GPA over 3.00? If the answer is yes to both, you must also have passing scores on the PERT exam.
If you have not taken the PERT, it’s being offered at LOLHS after school on 3/8 & 3/10 — must attend both sections (unless retaking it). Scan the QR code to register — there is limited seating, so don’t delay!!

Last FSA ELA/Alg1EOC date of YR

February 8th starts the last round of testing for students who have not yet passed their 10th gr FSA ELA and/or the Alg1 EOC. Students who need to test will have received an email in their school email account already.

Students can also take the ACT or SAT and meet/surpass the cutoff scores, they will meet the testing requirement that way. For students who are looking to meet their FSA ELA and/or Alg1EOC test requirements, there are two opportunities coming up in March for testing:

One will be during-the-school-day ACT testing on 3/9-3/11 (3 days of testing — must attend all in order to earn a score) and the cost is $35. This particular administration of the ACT is NOT reportable to colleges, so it is not for college entrance — this is ONLY eligible for students looking to meet high school testing requirements. Please reach out to me or Ms. Gaete if you’re interested.

The second opportunity is the School Day SAT on 3/24, free to all LOLHS juniors. No registration or fee is needed, and this is for BOTH meeting high school testing requirements AND the score can be reported for college admissions.

Spring2021 Adult Ed

Spring adult ed is starting Tuesday 1/19 from 4pm-6pm every Tuesday and Thursday. Eligible students have a GPA below 2.0, have below 15 credits, and/or have a semester grade of D or F in English or Math. Complete, sign & return the form to me ASAP. Student must meet the minimum seat time to earn virtual after-school credit.

Students are not automatically enrolled — parents must complete, sign, and return the form to their counselor by FRIDAY JANUARY 15th

SAT and ACT Info

The SAT and ACT exams cost about $50 for each test and you must register for them at sat.org or act.org

The tests are on a weekend & are not offered at our school.

EXCEPT:

On Wednesday, Mar 24, 2021, we are offering, free for all LOLHS juniors, here at our school during the school day, the SAT exam for our students to take.  Please take advantage of this one-time-only free opportunity.

College-bound students are encouraged to take both the SAT and ACT to see on which test they perform their best.

Students could then CHOOSE to register for the next available ACT exam on February 6th – deadline at act.org is January 15th. Please reach out to Mrs. Pinsky or to our college specialist Ms. Colón for any questions.

Khan Academy is a great free resource that works to help with SAT test prep so your student can do their best on the SAT exam. It’ll show how your child performed on the PSAT and then help them to improve their score.
