On Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 6:00 p.m., the Academy will host a parent meeting, “Next Steps Information Night.” These meetings will present some very valuable information for 3rd and 8th grade parents and students. We ask you to make every effort to attend.
For 3rd Grade:
Third grade parents and students will learn about academic assessments and testing standards associated with 3rd grade, particularly the Read to Achieve Act (RTAA). This session will cover important offerings such as the Common Core standards, NC EOG Reading Test for 3rd grade, and the RTA 3rd grade student reading portfolio. The purpose of this event is to inform parents of the standards and requirements of 3rd grade and the importance of reading.
For 8th Grade:
Eighth grade parents and students will learn about the importance of being prepared for high school. Moving up to high school is a major milestone in a student’s education path. We want our students and parents to be prepared to meet this challenge successfully. This session will cover high school programs of study, high school expectations, and high school athletics. Joining us will be Mrs. Chandra Clay, Assistant Principal at Riverside High School and Coach Bob Hill, Athletic Director at Hillside High School. Eighth grade parents will also have the opportunity to apply on-line to magnet/specialty high schools using the Academy’s computers.
