Triton Parents,

As we prepare for the MCA, ACCESS, and ACT Tests it is important to note that high school students can use qualifying scores for placement in concurrent courses, PSEO, and certain college courses without having to take an additional placement test.

It is always appreciated when appointments are scheduled around MCA and ACT Testing Dates.

Test Tips for Parent - Student Discussions

1. Practice at home - Item samplers provide examples of the types of questions that are on the test. These can be accessed at home and practiced. You can find item samplers for each grade on the PearsonAccess website. http://minnesota.pearsonaccessnext.com/ and click on preparing for testing. Online test tutorials are also available.

2. More information on the MCAs can be accessed on the Minnesota Department of Education Website. http://education.state.mn.us/MDE/fam/tests/.

3. Parents of 11th graders should have a conversation with their child and check-in to make sure they are signed up for the appropriate test. The majority of the students take the ACT, but taking the ASVAB is also an option.

The class of 2023 will be the first THS Class that has the option to graduate with an Academy Certificate. We are excited to fully implement this educational approach at THS.

OUR GOAL

To help students develop the skills, knowledge, and dispositions needed for success after high school.

OUR APPROACH

This approach focuses on a student-centered curriculum based on personally relevant content. Our Academies will provide a framework for implementing the principles of the Triton Profile of a Graduate while embedding the career experiences and principles needed to be career-ready.

WHAT ARE ACADEMIES?

The Triton Cobra Academies will combine a curriculum built from state standards-based learning targets with opportunities to explore career fields, career clusters, and pathways. Upon completion of the Triton High School experience, all students will have experiences that have addressed the necessary learning targets through a platform that is engaging, relevant, and career-focused.

Students can graduate with an Academy Medal and Certificate by completing the required coursework for that respective Academy and by completing an approved Senior Project/Capstone Career Experience.

To help our students navigate this journey, the Triton High School counselor and their advisor will work with each and every student to develop 4-year plans and career plans that revolve around student interests, strengths, and passions.

WHY ACADEMIES?

• College may not be the best fit for every student.

• Education is not a “one size fits all” endeavor. Student interests and passions are extremely diverse. We needed a program that reflected this individuality.

• The cost of attending a four-year college continues to increase at an alarming rate.

• We have a tremendous amount of industry opportunities in our Triton Communities.

• College is an appropriate pathway for some students. These individuals need access to college-level courses in our school environment.

Congratulations to the Triton Concert Choir and the superior rating that they received at the Large Group Contest. They received scores of 37, 38, and 38. Congratulations to the Concert Choir and Mr. Anderson.

The Triton High School Band received a Superior rating from all three judges at the Large Group Contest held at Southland High School on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. It was a great showing of the depth and skill of the band, as well as their ability to work together dynamically.

Enhanced Driving Institute will be holding a driver’s ed class here at Triton, June 20-July 1 (2 weeks, M-F) from 9am-12pm. All Behind the Wheel lessons would be held at their Rochester location. The Complete Package, which includes classroom and 6 hours BTW has a 10-month program agreement starting the first day of class. There is also a Classroom Only Package option that can be purchased that is not subject to a program agreement. This may be an option for those younger than age 15. Please see their website for more detailed information and to register https://www.enhanceddrivinginstitute-mn.com/triton

St Joseph Driving School is available for behind the wheel instruction with pick up and drop off at home or school. Students or parents may call 507-259-7675 or 507-634-6293 to set up driving instruction. They are not offering classroom instruction at this time. Through June of this year, online classes are being offered by most driving schools within the state of Minnesota. Students are then free to contract with any driving school for behind the wheel practice.

Students interested in playing summer baseball should download and return these forms. Paper copies are also available in your child's respective school office.
