Calendar for Practice In an effort to ensure our students are GROWING, even over the summer, we have created a practice calendar for them to practice over the summer. Summer practice begins on Monday, June 1st. We want to make sure students avoid the summer slump, which is a decline academically when they return for the new school year. En un esfuerzo por asegurar que nuestros estudiantes estén CRECIENDO, incluso durante el verano, hemos creado un calendario de práctica para que practiquen durante el verano. La práctica de verano comienza el lunes 1 de junio. Queremos asegurarnos de que los estudiantes eviten la depresión del verano, que es una disminución académica cuando regresan para el nuevo año escolar.

Club 615 Summer Edition

● Club 615 is a virtual book club for the scholars of STRIVE Collegiate Academy. This community was started by our

8th Grade ELA instructor, Mr. Cannon, as a way for students to share their thoughts and to experience the magic of a

good book, while away from the school building.

● Moving into the summer months, our objective is to continue encouraging our students to stay connected with one

another and to push their literacy development. With this goal in mind, Club 615 will be included in the STRIVE 2020

Summer Work.

● Club 615 es un club virtual de libros para los académicos de STRIVE Collegiate Academy. Esta comunidad fue

iniciada por nuestro instructor de ELA de octavo grado, el Sr. Cannon, como una forma para que los estudiantes

compartan sus pensamientos y experimenten la magia de un buen libro, mientras están lejos del edificio de la escuela.

● Pasando a los meses de verano, nuestro objetivo es continuar alentando a nuestros estudiantes a mantenerse

conectados entre sí y a impulsar su desarrollo de la alfabetización. Con este objetivo en mente, el Club 615 se incluirá

en el trabajo de verano de STRIVE 2020.

STRIVE Collegiate Academy Dress Code

In order to minimize distractions and to foster a sense of unity at the school, STRIVE students will wear uniforms. The STRIVE uniform will help foster a professional culture focused on learning and avoid distractions. Having students wear uniforms will also promote a sense of belonging for students, which can help increase student effort and investment. Students will be expected to be in full uniform every day. Positive behavior will be fostered through dress code and uniform privileges as decided by student input. For example, those students who have received a certain distinction for model behavior may be allowed to wear an alternative dress code such as jean day; students will be able to wear professional attire on their birthdays. We will also hold occasional dress-for-success days during which students can wear professional clothing to allow students to learn to make appropriate choices for interviews and the workplace. The following outlines STRIVE’s uniform:

Para minimizar las distracciones y fomentar un sentido de unidad en la escuela, los estudiantes de STRIVE usarán uniformes. El uniforme STRIVE ayudará a fomentar una cultura profesional centrada en el aprendizaje y evitar distracciones. Hacer que los estudiantes usen uniformes también promoverá un sentido de pertenencia para los estudiantes, lo que puede ayudar a aumentar el esfuerzo y la inversión de los estudiantes. Se espera que los estudiantes estén en uniforme completo todos los días. Se fomentará el comportamiento positivo a través del código de vestimenta y los privilegios uniformes según lo decidido por la aportación del estudiante. Por ejemplo, aquellos estudiantes que han recibido una cierta distinción por el comportamiento del modelo pueden usar un código de vestimenta alternativo como el día de jean; los estudiantes podrán usar vestimenta profesional en sus cumpleaños. También celebraremos días ocasionales de vestimenta para el éxito durante los cuales los estudiantes pueden usar ropa profesional para permitirles aprender a tomar decisiones apropiadas para las entrevistas y el lugar de trabajo. Lo siguiente describe el uniforme de STRIVE:

Shirts ● A STRIVE Collegiate Academy polo shirt or a STRIVE cardigan/sweatshirt is visible at all times as the outer layer (Monday-Friday).

Important Information for 6th Grade

Parents

State requires an additional immunization before entering 7th grade

2020-2021

Students currently enrolled in a Tennessee school and entering the 7th grade in August 2020 must provide the school

an updated Tennessee Immunization Certificate with proof of an additional immunization:

1. Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis booster (“Tdap”): required regardless of Td history (2013 update)

The Metro Public Health Department and Metro Nashville Public Schools encourage you to get these

immunizations NOW to avoid long waits in clinics and doctor’s offices. Schedule a visit with your child’s doctor or

primary care provider for the immunizations. Immunizations may be available through the Metro Public Health

Department if your child has TennCare, no insurance or insurance that does not pay for vaccines. Appointments

are required.

The law requires parents to provide an updated immunization certificate to the school before the student can start

7th grade. You will only need to have proof of the additional immunization mentioned above on the updated

immunization certificate. You can turn in the certificate to your child’s school as soon as you have it completed or

no later than the start of school August 4.

For more information you may contact:
