Weekly Memo - 2/29 to 3/6
Good Morning SC GEAR UP
I hope everyone had a great weekend and is looking forward to a great week ahead!
I want to officially welcome Ms. Tanya Martin to the SC GEAR UP Family. She starts today and is hitting the ground running.
Welcome Tanya!
APR
I will receive the APR tomorrow from Washington. Once i am able to access it, I will farm out the parts those who usually help me with a specific section. Our target date to submit is always a week earlier than the final due date, so that should be April 8th. With that in mind, please help me out this year with the usual:
- Narratives on the successes of your individual initiatives s in your Regions
- Making sure I have all invoices in
Decision Day
Decision Day plans should also be in the works. I am beginning the process this week of developing materials for the webpage on SCCANGO.org. I am working to complete a resource page for the site that could be helpful as you plan your events. If you have any resources you think may be helpful as you move forward, please share them with me.
In the meantime, I need you to begin sending me your dates for your events. And the earlier you can get me finished videos from the schools, the better.
SC GEAR UP Day at Clemson
Objectives for 2015-16
The SCGU Grant objectives for 11th grade will be that 1) At least 25% of our cohort will have passed at least 2 math courses above Algebra by the end of 11th grade; 2) 80% of our students will pass U.S. History by the end of 11th grade.
Remember, the success of the SC GEAR UP Grant will be judged on three things:
1) Did your GU cohort graduate high school at a higher rate than the non GU cohorts?
2) Did your GU cohort enroll at a post-secondary institution at a higher rate than the non GU cohorts?
3) How prepared to succeed were our GU cohort when they arrived at college?
