THE ACCLIVE TIMES [June 15th, 2024]

Ellen & Nicole featured on Olympiad website

After a truly incredible battle at last month's USA Forensics Olympiad Summer Classic, Ellen Zhang and Nicole Li championed the event. Now, they are being featured on the Olympiad webpage.

We are so proud of how far they have come. Congratulations from the whole Acclive Team!

Their official profiles were released to the public here and here. They are featured as the first team on the Summer Classic winner's page.

Looking forward, the Summer Classic awards will be released soon. Tune in for the announcement! □

The Transition from Discord to LMS

As of this date, we have discontinued support for Discord and WeChat. Going forward, all communications will be conducted through our Learning Management System (LMS).

We understand that some of you might have noticed the removal from the Acclie server. This was not an isolated issue. The primary reason for this change is the incompatibility between Discord, WeChat, and our LMS.

By consolidating our communications within the LMS, we aim to provide more timely and effective responses to your questions and support needs. If you have any troubles finding your way through the LMS, feel free to reach out to us via email! □

FROM THE ACCLIVE TEAM

The summer season will come to a close in a few short weeks with the Summer Cup. Needless to say, we had a busy summer. Acclive Academy Forensics students attended 3 Olympiad tournaments, and 2 intramurals.

Impressively, we brought home 2 national championships, 10+ speaker awards, and nearly 20+ bid earnings throughout the season! Words cannot express how proud we are of these hardworking individuals.

Truly, time flies. As fall draws near, we're standing proud of our remarkable accomplishments and eagerly embracing what lies ahead.

Thank you for being a part of Acclive Academy. As a family, we make this time worthwhile.

Warmly,

— the Acclive Academy Forensics team

THE ACCLIVE TIMES [June 16th, 2024]

Fall Student Placements Releasing In 48 Hours

After much deliberation, care and effort these past few weeks from Acclive staff, we are delighted to announce that a new student placement/levels system is now being released! This week, all students will receive time-sensitive placement emails for claiming a spot on a designated Fall team.

Selection/placement criteria include, but are not limited to:

in-class performance

tournament results

ranking against same-level peers

loyalty & work ethic.

There are many benefits of this new system, with one of the foremost being improved pairings. Students will be teamed with peers who are more closely matched to their level. Consequently, there will be a higher likelihood that their partners are in the same level or class, enhancing both partner quality and accessibility.

Additionally, top debaters are eligible to receive more benefits. These include increased tournament access, travel tournaments, and even paid internships.

We can't wait for the new placement system to debut this Fall, and hope our debaters are just as excited as we are! □

Acclive June Tournament Edits!

Acclive June tournament edits have now been released on the YouTube channel!

From this month forward, select top-ranking competitors will be featured in edits on YouTube. If any students/parents would like to opt out of video release, please email us to let us know.

This month's edits feature our Acclive June Intramural champion. Congratulations! □

Two Math Students Earn Recognition

This summer, our math students have been working hard on their accelerated math courses. Name one thing tougher than completing a year's worth of school math in one month!

We would like to recognize two specific individuals were selected out of our entire Summer mathematics cohort for their outstanding work ethic, dedication, and consistency in class, which were reflected in their test scores and evaluations:

Wenqing J. & Regina Q.

Congratulations to our Summer 2024 Mid-Season Math Student Performance Award winners! We are so proud of all that you've accomplished.

We will be reaching out soon for student profiles and further information from these two students shortly. Prizes will be sent soon!

Three New Socials Debuting

Three new socials are debuting this week: Tumblr, Instagram, and Medium. Although the socials have existed for some time, they have not been seriously updated till this time.

All announcements, events, and student opportunities are found fastest via our socials. We can't wait to see you there!

Medium: medium.com/@accliveacademy

Instagram: @accliveacademy

Tumblr: accliveacademy.tumblr.com

FROM THE ACCLIVE TEAM

The new Fall placements system took a considerable amount of work and effort from everyone at Acclive. Over the next 48 hours, we will conduct thorough student evaluations to form the teams that will foster the most growth this fall.

This process reflects our deep gratitude and unwavering commitment to our students. We genuinely care about their growth and success, and every step of this placement process was undertaken with their best interests in mind.

No matter what level you are placed into, remember that being placed in a lower level should not be a cause for disappointment but rather a step toward maximizing your potential.

Every placement is thoughtfully designed with student development in mind. We've seen students struggle when their class or partner was too advanced. Often, success is about finding the perfect fit, and we're here to help you grow.

Good luck to all students on their 2024 Fall Class Placements!

Warmly,

— the Acclive Academy Forensics team
