Important Notice:
15% of Your Child’s Grade Will come from TCAP test Scores
We would like to inform you of a change in the Tennessee state law* and Knox County Schools policy. Under current state law, students’ scores on the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) shall count from 15 to 25 percent of the student’s final report card grade during the spring semester in the subject areas of math, reading/language arts, science and social studies. In order to comply with the state law, Knox County Schools policy** now requires that the student’s TCAP scores count as fifteen (15%) percent of the student’s second semester grade. This will affect children in grades three through eight.

We would like to make you aware of a new Tennessee state law* that will have an impact on our Tennessee third graders this school year. Under the new state law, beginning with the 2011-2012 school year a student in third grade will not be promoted to the next grade unless a basic understanding of reading is demonstrated by the student’s grades or standardized tests. BUT, if a child is struggling and is involved with a researched-based intervention (additional tutorial support during the school day) or summer school, they may be promoted onto the fourth grade. Our goal is to have all of our third graders on grade level in reading. If your child is struggling, we want to provide additional support through specific instruction in small groups and/or through our Summer Learning Academy that is held in June.
