Junior Parents:  ACT Bootcamp (by Mastery Prep) starts tomorrow.  We are excited to meet our instructor as he will guide on Juniors on everything ACT.  Each student will receive a workbook.  It is important that your child is at school everyday this week (unless they are going to the Final Four).  Each student will have one day for Bootcamp.  Those attending Monday received an an email from Mrs. McCaleb around 7 PM tonight.  It is important that these are at school by 8 AM (this includes late start).  We will continue to assign the remaining students throughout the week.

Ready Platform is accessible to all students.  Students will need to log into their Clever and look for the grad hat icon.  Students will be working on this platform in Soar, but they can also work on it outside of school. There are 3 platforms in Mastery Prep:  TruScore (practice tests), Study Hall (Skill Review) and Snapcourse (Online course).  See graphic below.

Students will participate in a 1 Day Boot Camp, March 2-5.  We will let students know their assigned day as we get closer to time.

We are fortunate that Shelby County has partnered with Cantrell Waller allowing our students to take practice tests throughout the year.  The first one was in August and the second one was last week.  We hope to have the results from the second one in February in preparation for March's test.  Below are strategies that our teachers have shared with our students centered around target scores for the ACT.  

Students who benchmark in just one area on the ACT will receive a CCRI (College and Career Ready Indicator) on their transcript. A CCRI is now a requirement to graduate.  As a incentive, students will also receive an all-season sports pass for their senior year if they benchmark in just 1 section on the March exam.
