From cbrown at osrhe.edu Tue Mar 9 15:19:20 2010 From: cbrown at osrhe.edu (Brown, Cynthia (OSRHE)) Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 15:19:20 -0600 Subject: [Okepas] State Regents' Oklahoma EPAS Scholars Recognition Program 2010 Message-ID: Oklahoma Colleagues: Oklahoma EPAS Scholars 2010, now in its tenth year, is a State Regents' program aimed at recognizing students for their collegiate preparedness as early as the eighth grade. We encourage you to consider the delivery of these certificates at a special event in your school-either by giving them as part of your awards ceremonies this spring, or through other special venues. The mailing should be arriving by the end of March from ACT. We have asked ACT to address the mailing to the person who was listed as the EPAS Contact for this year's EXPLORE and PLAN assessment materials. * PLEASE NOTE: We are not printing the certificates this year. A black line master will be enclosed in this mailing for your use. If you would prefer to have the electronic version of the certificate along with the electronic file of your roster and specific instructions for doing a merge function just email us and ask for it: epas at osrhe.edu . Please do not email me as it will delay your request. This year's Oklahoma EPAS Scholars' roster includes your students who scored at or above the College Readiness Benchmark in any subject area on the EXPLORE or PLAN test. These scores indicate whether students, based on their performance on EXPLORE or PLAN are on target to be ready for first-year college-level work when they graduate from high school. The College Readiness Benchmarks for the subject areas are: EXPLORE PLAN English 13 15 Mathematics 17 19 Reading 15 17 Science 20 21 Thank you for your support of students through EPAS and for your leadership on your campus.
