If you are interested in attending summer academic programming, please contact your student's homeroom teacher. Capacity is limited and priority will be given to students in priority categories (low MAP scores, below or approaching on previous TNReady exams).
Campuses will reach out to families and notify them of their acceptance to the program or the program waitlist by Friday, 4/23/21. We are planning to accommodate as many families as possible.
