8. Side 2 of the worksheet

9. You will register for all of your classes through Infinite Campus

10. You need to know your student’s USERNAME AND PASSWORD
Your username is your Student ID. If you do not know your student ID, you can ask one of your teachers.
Your password is as follows: initial from your first name initial from your last name followed by your birth date using a 6 digit number. EXAMPLE: Jim Smith was born on May 6, His password would be: js050699
Upon initial login you will be told you have been flagged for a password change. The "old" password it is asking for is the initials and birth date password that you just entered.
WE RECOMMEND that you keep the password the same, but make your initials capitals. That way you are not likely to forget it.
if you need your password reset or if the directions don’t work for you. No one at Scott has you password for Infinite Campus if you change it after your first log-in.

17. CCR: College and Career Ready
The state of Kentucky identifies a student as being College/Career Ready if they meet certain Benchmarks on College Entrance tests
The ACT, COMPASS, and KYOTE are all used to determine if a student is CCR.
The PLAN test is given in the 10th grade as a “heads up” for students and counselors about who is on the road to CCR and who isn’t.
We also schedule students into help classes to become CCR

18. What are the CCR Benchmarks?
English
Math
Reading 18 19 20
We monitor MAP scores from grades to place students in the kinds of classes they need to move them toward being CCR.

19. What if a student isn’t CCR?
A student would have to take remedial courses in college
College courses average about $1500 per course
The remedial course would not count toward the student’s degree.
That student’s degree would cost more than a student who did not have to take remedial courses, AND take longer to achieve.

20. MAP Testing
MAP stands for Measures of Academic Progress. Students are tested 3 times a year.
We use the Reading and Math MAP scores in making course selections that will be appropriate for students.
We use MAP scores and EXPLORE scores for Prep/Prep+
Our goal is to always make sure students are moving toward being CCR.

21. What MAP scores should my student have?
Reading
Math
At the End of 8th Grade
222.6
234.4
At the End of 9th Grade
222.9
235.3
At the End of 10th Grade
223.9
237.5

22. Prep and Prep+
This is an acceleration plan for students based on their standardized test scores.
The purpose is to challenge students to go further academically than their comfort zones.
Counselors look at 2 data points: 2 MAP scores or a MAP score and an EXPLORE score.

23. What are the scores?
The scores are actually percentiles. A percentile measures one score against EVERY OTHER SCORE on that test, at the time taken.
PREP = 75%ile. That means that the score is higher than 75% of the other scores. Only 25% of the scores were higher.
PREP+ = 96%ile. That means that the score is higher than 96% of the other scores. Only 4% of the scores were higher.

24. Governor’s Scholars Program

25. Governor’s Scholars Program

27. What’s the GSP Payoff?

28. What should students do to prepare for GSP?

Keep grades up
Get involved in school/community activities
