Compass Community Schools is committed to ensuring every student has the resources and support they need to succeed. To help achieve this, we ask that parents encourage their children to engage in the following activities:
Daily Reading:
Grades K-2: Should read or be read to for at least 20 minutes every night.
Grades 3-8: Should read for at least 30 minutes every night.
*This practice develops strong reading habits and improves comprehension skills.
Grades K-2: Use flash cards to practice math facts daily.
- Grade K: Addition and Subtraction Facts to 10

- Grade 2: Addition and Subtraction Facts to 30
Grades 3-4: Use flash cards to practice math facts daily.
- Grade 3: Multiplication and Division Facts to 10

*Memorizing math facts allows students to solve problems quickly and accurately.
This frees up brain power, enabling students to focus on problem-solving and reasoning.
*Students should use scratch paper to show their problem-solving.

Hispanic Heritage Month: Compass Community Schools a model for ELL success
The Catholic Diocese of Memphis support these schools, whose focus is educating children residing in the neighborhoods in which these schools are located. The Diocese of Memphis has leased school buildings to Compass Community Schools to serve Jubilee students as well as other students from the surrounding neighborhoods as they operate schools at the following campuses: Berclair, Binghampton, Frayser, Hickory Hill, Midtown, and Orange Mound. Compass Community Schools is led by Executive Director Kristi Baird.>>>>Click here to read more.
Compass Community Schools is a model Tennessee should follow
This year’s Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) results were rightfully cheered for the gains Tennessee students made, but it’s important to keep in mind achievement gaps still persist.
This is especially true for students who are English Language Learners (ELL). These students scored 15 points lower than the state average in English Language Arts and 10 points lower in Math.
As our state looks for solutions to the inequities that create these achievement gaps, we can learn much from the model that’s currently serving Memphis students at Compass Community Schools.>>>>>Read More>>>>>>>>
