With a little over a month left in this school year, we currently have nearly 12,000 students who ONLY need a passing essay grade to earn their English Certificate of Completion.  

Full instructions for completing the essay assignment in EdReady can be found here. 

Instructions for accessing student essays submitted in EdReady, if the teacher does not receive a notification, can be found here.

As we’ve reviewed on recent webinars, please also let your teachers know that they can still have their English students submit their essay directly to the teacher for grading. After the teacher has graded the student essay, they will need to manually submit the grade into the Edready platform.

Instructions for manually reporting essay grades in EdReady can be found here. 

Let’s help these students earn their TSI exemption by completing the essay!

Additional Updates:

The last day for students to work in EdReady for the 2022-23 school year is July 28. EdReady will be taken off-line from July 29 through August 6 in preparation of the 2023-24 school year. 

If a Junior working in the program hasn’t completed by July 28, they will need to begin again with the initial diagnostic in the new school year.
