Tolleson Union teacher urges students to register for ACT, cites districtwide benefits
Summary
Math teacher Ashley Pollock reminded students about the Oct. 22 ACT, highlighting its role in college readiness and scholarship eligibility and urging students to seek tutoring and practice tests through counselors and teachers.
Ashley Pollock, a math teacher at Tolleson Union High School, addressed the meeting to remind students about the upcoming ACT administration and to encourage preparation and use of district resources.
"The ACT is the key exam to determining how prepared you are for college, but also opens doors to scholarships and any other financial options," Pollock said. She told students the Oct. 22 test can help them prepare for a final attempt in March and urged those who need assistance to contact teachers or counselors for tutoring or practice opportunities.
Pollock said strong ACT performance also benefits the school and district by demonstrating academic commitment and can lead to "more opportunities and resources" for students across the district. She encouraged students to aim for proficiency and seek support when needed.
Pollock did not present new district policy or request board action in the recorded remarks; her comments were an informational announcement to students and families. Specific testing locations, registration deadlines and fee-waiver details were not specified in the transcript excerpt.
