The Virginia Literacy Act requires all school divisions to incorporate High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) into the academic curriculum. CCPS adopted HMH Into Literature textbooks. We also have grade-level district-approved novels to supplement our textbook selections. Common assessments and benchmarks are currently being revised and updated.
Secondary students are exposed to frequent paired passages that include a writing component to help prepare them for the Grade 8 Integrated Reading & Writing (IRW) state assessment. Grades 6-8 administer a Reading SOL Test in May. All students also complete the NWEA MAP Growth Assessments three times a year. Reading progress is tracked through Lexia to close gaps in students’ reading comprehension, word study, and grammar. New this year, the Virginia Language & Literacy Screening System (VALLSS) was administered to select students in September to provide targeted reading intervention based on current data.
Campbell County offers a comprehensive school counseling program to all students in grades K-12. Students who wish to see a counselor may make an appointment through the counseling secretary, their teacher, or counselor.
