Graduation Pathways: Seniors: Please meet with Ms. Baim to discuss your graduation standing! The Pennsylvania General Assembly in 2018 enacted a law, Act 158 of 2018, that provides students with a variety of opportunities to demonstrate post-high school readiness. All students have five pathways from which to choose to satisfy Pennsylvania’s graduation requirements (see the below graphic). You can also view a brief video overview of Pennsylvania’s graduation pathways at the following link: https://youtu.be/V1b3GNGI6X4 CCA this spring is offering students two of the five pathways: Keystone Exams and other Alternative Assessments. Please check out the Testing Information icon in the Infographic for more information. Act 158 Graduation Pathways Chart: Important: If your child chooses a non-Keystone Exam pathway to satisfy Pennsylvania’s graduation requirements, he or she is still required to take the Keystone Exams for federal accountability purposes – your child’s performance on the Keystone Exams in no way affects his or her course grades or progress in satisfying Pennsylvania’s graduation requirements. If you have any questions about the Keystone Exams, ASVAB, or any of the other tests CCA offers, please contact the State Testing Team at statetesting@ccaeducate.me.

Keystones, ASVAB, ACT, ACT WorkKeys, etc. Registration for Fall ASVAB, ACT WorkKeys, and Winter Keystones has now passed. Please be on the look out for communication about Spring testing for each of these. If you have any questions or need assistance about the Keystone Exams, ASVAB, or any of the other tests CCA offers, please contact the State Testing Team at statetesting@ccaeducate.me.

Graduation Requirements: Seniors: Please meet with Ms. Baim to discuss your graduation standing! In order to graduate, each CCA student must have 21 credits AND meet the state's Act 158 Requirements for graduation. Below is a breakdown of the 21 credits: To meet the State's Act 158 Graduation requirement, as referred to in the Graduation Pathways tab of this Genially, please check out this 3-Minute Video
