Level 2: Savvy Prep+ (for those who scored a 26 or higher on a previous ACT)
Total instructional time for students: 12 hours from 8:30 am -11:30 am

Signups will begin at 7 am, Thurs., Feb. 21, in the school office (Peggy’s desk) — we will not accept signups before that time. Only juniors and seniors will be able to sign up through March 1 on a first-come, first-served basis for up to 24 students per class. The cost is $100 and must be paid at the time of signup.
On Mon., March 4, if all spots are not full, we will allow sophomores to sign up. If students are not able to attend all four sessions, they will still pay full price. Unfortunately, we cannot pro-rate or offer refunds because the instructor will still be here, regardless of attendance.
