CCR - College Career Readiness
College Career Readiness / CCR Period
All students will be engaged in a FLEX Tutorial period during their academic week. During this 30 minute period, students will have the opportunity for tutorial, free choice reading, or study time; during weekly Advisory periods, students will engage in digital citizenship and/or SEL lessons. Students may be required to attend tutorial sessions while others may choose to attend free choice reading or study center offered by their teachers. Tutorial sessions offer targeted intervention activities for specific students. A crucial component to the FLEX period is the student’s daily use of the binder reminder. A binder reminder will be issued to each student during registration. Students who lose their binder reminder must purchase a new binder reminder for $5 at the library. Students are required to possess their binder reminder daily and must not tarnish them by removing, folding, cutting, or altering the binder reminder in any way possible.
