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.

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

                                                     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
