Stingray Nation Weekly Update Atlantic Coast High School

Hello Stingray Nation!

Thank you, Parents, for sending testing snacks and candy for our teachers and students. These items are helping support us through these testing weeks. We appreciate you!

Makeup testing is underway for students who missed the Algebra 1 or Geometry EOC on Thursday, May 7th. If your student missed the test, please make sure they are in school each day so they can take this important end-of-course exam.

Tuesday, May 12th, and Thursday, May 14th, are important testing days for our students.

  • On May 12th: 9th and 10th grade ELA students will be taking the FAST PM3. Seniors and Juniors who do not have their reading score required for graduation will be taking the FAST Reading retake. For seniors, this is their final opportunity on campus to earn that passing score.

  • On May 14th: Students will be taking Biology or U.S. History EOCs. Students who have both courses will take one of those tests on another day. EOC test schedules have been emailed to students; if they don't know their schedule, have them check their student email account.

Please help us support your students' success. They should charge their laptop overnight, bring laptop and charger to school, get plenty of rest, and eat a healthy, sustaining breakfast.
