For parents of 7th Graders

ATTENTION 7TH GRADE PARENTS!

Is your 7th grader looking for an academic challenge?  Taking the ACT or SAT test could be that challenge!  All 7th graders who earned 95% or higher on the TerraNova portion of their MAP test in math OR communication arts OR science in 5th or 6th grade, are eligible to take the ACT or SAT through Duke University’s national talent search program.  If test scores are not high enough and your student is interested, call Mrs. Gavin about applying for an appeal.

You can go to the Duke TIP link for more information:


7th grade English teachers also have brochures with information and paper applications or you can call Stephanie Gavin at (314) 918-4604 for more details.

If you do register on-line you will need Hixson’s ID code:  450340-ED
