Parent-Teacher Conferences
As you schedule your conferences, you are encouraged to print or email your schedule through the “Printable Schedule” page. This page contains the times and teachers for your conferences. If you sign up for virtual conferences, you will receive access to the links for each of your virtual conferences before 10/7.
We look forward to your participation as we continue to partner with you to support your student’s education.
Career Exploration
Make sure your student joins at least one session in week 2 of our Speaker Series, offering Compass Academy students the opportunity to engage in conversations with community members from a variety of careers. This week, there will be two different speakers. Students may choose one or both to attend. Please use this LINK to sign up. Students must sign up to receive the Zoom link.
- Writer & Content Strategist - Elizabeth Rago
- Board Certified Behavioral Analyst - Caylee Irving
These opportunities not only enable students to hear about different careers, but they also help students attain competencies in Career Exploration, earning credit toward graduation while completing the first step in obtaining a College & Career Pathway Endorsement on their diploma.
Fall PSAT Testing
The Fall PSAT date is October 13th. 9th grade students will be taking College Board's PSAT 8/9. This will be an online exam and students will need their Chromebooks.
10th and 11th grade students will be taking College Board's PSAT/NMSQT exam in the traditional paper and pencil format.
All Compass Academy 9th-11th grade students will take the PSAT at their home high school. The test is on a Wednesday, so students who do not typically attend classes at their home high school will have the option to take district transportation to and from East or North that day.
More information about this will be shared as we get closer to the testing day.
Open House Recap
Culinary Lab
Wellness Center
Our wellness center offers students a comfortable and quiet place to take a brain break, work on self-management, read, decompress, or seek support, if needed. Students contributed to the arrangement of the center and to the list of items ordered for student use, including puzzles, fidgets, books, and games.
STEM Lab
Extracurricular Clubs & Activities
In addition, because students indicated an interest in special school events, a group of students, the self-named Beautification and Festivities Committee, has already started planning for activities during Halloween week at Compass. Students will get more information about this soon.
