Report cards from first trimester will be mailed home during the first week of December, and the 15 school-day ineligibility period will begin on Wednesday, December 5.

They have received their score reports that have their estimated score of what they could score on the ACT when they take it in February. It also has what questions that they answered correctly and which ones they did not with the correct answer labeled. All students were given their test booklet so they can look back at any questions that were on the PreACT. Another great part of the PreACT is it has an interest inventory that shows career areas that students might consider based on their interests. If any juniors would like to be a part of ACT prep group that we will be running in December and January, please sign up in student services. Come join the Bloomer High School Band and Choir on Sunday, December 16 th at 2pm for their annual Holiday concert! It is sure to get you in the Holiday Spirit! Challenge Empower Achieve
