News and Announcements

TNReady questions will be more engaging for students because they are interactive and taken online. This also makes the results easier for teachers to view and share.

In reading and writing – students will read from texts and provide written responses to support their answers. In math – students will solve multi-step problems, many without using a calculator, to show what they know. Much like teachers already do in their classrooms, TNReady will give students a variety of new ways to show what they really know and can do.

The Open Enrollment period will begin January 29th at 10 am and will end March 11th at 4 pm.

Transfers will be approved based on BCS Policies #6015 and #6019. All applicants will be notified of the transfer status on or before April 8, 2016. Contact Student Services at 901-202-0855 ext. 238 if you have additional questions.
