ACT Prep Course for Juniors in January and February
Mrs. Pecoraro will be offereing an ACT Prep Course to Juniors during Advisory beginning the week of January 21st. We have access to this course through our Learning Express data base. Students that do not have an advisory due to CACC or Zero Hour can do this on their own; however, all juniors that are in Advisory will register and start the course with her during January and February. This is a great opportunity for our students and we appreciate Mrs. Pecoraro's expertise in sharing this with our students! Juniors will need to register for the course (the slide below was shared with them via email). An outline of the course is also included below.
What is 211?
With approximately 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the United States plus scores of
government agencies, finding help can be confusing and intimidating. People who need help
often do not know where to begin.
211 call centers are staffed by trained specialists who quickly assess the callers’ needs and
refer them to the help they seek. It’s simple to remember, accessible to everyone, toll-free,
available 24/7, with multilingual capabilities.
211 in Sangamon and Menard County is funded by United Way of Central Illinois. By bringing
this service to the community, especially at a time when more individuals and families need
health and human service support, United Way is fulfilling its mission of mobilizing resources to
meet community needs.
