What is the Edmentum’s Study Island Summer Academic Sprints Contest?
The Edmentum’s Study Island Summer Academic Sprints Contest is our 2019 Summer contest, which runs from May 26 – August 17, 2019.
There will be four total student winners from two categories:
- Two winners will be chosen for most questions correct with at least 60% correct overall, one from each of the following categories: (K-6th Grade) and (7th-12th Grade)
- Two winners for consistent usage; they will be chosen at random from those who use Study Island to answer at least 20 questions correctly each week with at least 60% correct overall for 9 of the 12 weeks.
How are the winners determined?
There are two categories of winners, most questions correct (two winners) and consistent practice (two winners).
Most Questions Correct Winners: Three winning students will be selected based upon the total number of questions answered correctly in Study Island during the contest period, May 26 – August 17, 2019. The student from each grade span (K-6 and 7-12) with the highest number of questions answered correctly that also has an overall percentage of questions correct of at least 60% will be the winner.
Consistent Practice: Two winning students will be selected at random from those who answer at least 20 questions correctly each week for at least 9 of the 12 weeks of the contest period and also have an overall percentage correct of at least 60%.
Students can only win in one category. If a student wins for Most Questions Correct, they will not be eligible for the Consistent Practice Prize.
