Retakes for all grades

More information will follow about this retake date.
Illinois FAFSA Mandate:
Public Act 101-180 (effective 6/01/20) requires that, beginning with the 2020-2021 school year, public high school students must complete the FAFSA or, as eligible, the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid, as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma. A waiver provision basically allows a parent, guardian, or the student – if 18 or emancipated – to opt out for any reason.
Making FAFSA completion part of an expectation for high school graduation can increase the number of students who are aware of the resources available to help them afford education or training after high school. This information can also help some students decide to attempt college when they might not otherwise have done so, and it may help some students limit student loan debt and take a fuller course load to more quickly complete a degree or credential.
SAT State Testing for Class of 2021
Mundelein High School will be giving the state required SAT to all 12th grade students on Wednesday, October 14, 2020. The class of 2021 (12th graders) are required to take this exam to meet graduation requirements. This exam is also beneficial for college admissions. All 12th graders should plan to come to school on this date to complete the SAT. Details about the exam day will be announced in early October.
Please understand that safety is a priority for this exam administration. Students will be in classrooms of approximately 15 students, be sitting six feet apart, required to wear masks, and required to self-certify that they are symptom free prior to entering the building.
District transportation will be provided for those in need. Please complete this THIS FORM if you need bus transportation to and from MHS on the testing date.
Students that receive College Board approved testing accommodations will receive a separate communication with details for accommodations testing. Most students with College Board approved accommodations will test on October 14th (and October 15th if needed). More details to follow.
If your student will not be participating on this exam day, please fill out THIS FORM by Sunday, September 13, and we will follow up with you as soon as possible. Please know that if your student does not attend the exam on this date, they will have to take the exam in April of 2021 in order to graduate from MHS.
More information regarding testing and logistics will come out closer to the exam date. In the meantime, if you have questions about the SAT on October 14, 2020 please contact your student’s school counselor.
