PLAN Test on Tuesday, 9/14

All sophomore students at Ryle will be taking the PLAN test on Tuesday, September 14, 2010.

Valuable for all 10th-grade students, the PLAN test measures academic progress in high school. It is designed to improve students' preparation for education, training, and work after high school while they still have time to adjust their high school courses. PLAN has content similar to the ACT® test.

Why should my kid take PLAN?

What subjects does the PLAN test cover and how long does it take?


Why should my kid take PLAN?

All 10th grade students in Kentucky take the PLAN as part of the state's educational testing system.  Taking PLAN is a great way to prepare for the ACT. In fact, students who take PLAN tend to score higher on the ACT than students who do not take PLAN.

It covers the same subjects—English, mathematics, reading, and science—and provides an estimated ACT score.

PLAN points out academic strengths and areas where improvement is needed and lets students know if they're on track for college.

PLAN helps them find careers that match their interests and even helps connect them with colleges interested in them.

What subjects does the PLAN test cover and how long does it take?

PLAN includes four multiple-choice tests covering English, mathematics, reading, and science.

     Subject        Number of Questions      How Long It Takes

• English       50 questions  30 minutes
• Math          40 questions  40 minutes
• Reading      25 questions  20 minutes
• Science      30 questions  25 minutes

PLAN also includes a 72-item interest inventory that asks questions about the types of work tasks students would or would not like to do.

Strong Fathers - Strong Families

The Boone County Schools presents Strong Fathers-Strong Families training on September 23, 2010 from 4-6:30 pm at the Florence Government Center, Lower Level, Community Room A.

The goal of participation in this training is to improve the supportive educational environment in order that men may become more involved in the lives of their children.  All dads, moms, teachers, administrators, counselors, PTSA members, or others wishing to assist schools are invited to attend.

Saturday, September 11

Take some time today to remember the tragedy that occurred nine years ago in New York City.  The response to the tragic events of 9/11/01 demonstrated the courage, sacrifice, perseverence, and unwavering dedication of our people.  These principles make our country great.

Its hard to believe that on 9/11/01 the students now at Ryle were in kindergarten through 3rd grade.  As more time passes it is important to remind ourselves and our children about those who were lost in the tragedy and the rescue efforts and the war on terror.  We must never forget.
