TriDistrict Community Education

School District 197 Youth Enrichment Community Education is pleased to partner with Advantage Educational Programs. For the past 26 years, Advantage Educational Programs benefited thousands of students in Minnesota by preparing them for the college entrance exams. They offer ACT Preparatory Courses in more than forty high schools in Minneapolis/St. Paul and the surrounding area. Online ACT Preparatory Course This course is an excellent alternative for any student unable to attend in-school classes or for a student preferring to prepare for the ACT exam on their own, and study at their desired pace. The fee for this course is $80, and you may repeat the course at no charge until you graduate from high school. The online course will allow students to log-in for the course and proceed at their own pace. The course will be using Google Classroom to present the online course and it will be equivalent to the 12 hour classroom time. The course will use instructors' videos, voice-overs, illustrations, and slides that guide you through all of the testing areas of the ACT. You will also be able to communicate with the instructor when you have questions or concerns. **If you are on free/reduced lunch please contact us for a scholarship. **You will need a gmail account to access the google classroom. Your student's isd197.org account that is managed by google will not work--ISD197 blocks access to google classrooms outside the 197 domain. Once students are enrolled, they are sent an access code for their class via email, as well as directions on how to begin the simple process of starting their class. Students have the flexibility of working on classwork at their own pace around their own specific schedule.

New Date! Thurs, May 29 Purely for the laughter, we’ve planned this trip to 37 Postcards. Written like a 1930’s screwball comedy, young Avery Sutton and his fiance return after eight years in Europe only to find his already eccentric family has gone certifiably insane! The house is on a tilt, the dog is feral, his grandmother (presumed dead) is alive and kicking! Oh, the Suttons are a quirky, funny, loving family. So the couple has to either accept their oddities or leave them behind. They discover that you can, in fact, go home again. You just never know what you’ll find! Buffet lunch includes chicken, lasagna, mashed potatoes, Tuscan vegetables, garden salad, rolls, dessert, coffee & tea. Register by May 1 Depart TPAC 10:45 am / Return 4 pm
