Students in 9th-11th are participating in beginning of the year assessments until the end of August.

In September, all grade levels will be working on test-taking skills during Enrichment class, daily. Freshmen and sophomores will work towards improving reading and math skills. Juniors will focus on individual needs in English, math, reading, and science for the state-mandated ACT in March. Our seniors will be working on skills needed to successfully complete the Workkeys assessment. This assessment can be used in conjunction with job applications, resumes, and obtaining a college and career readiness indicator for the state of Alabama (CCRI).

Enrichment is a great opportunity for our students to strengthen and enhance their academic skills. What they learn can be used for daily classroom assessments and assignments as well as county-wide and state diagnostics.
