Academic Center for Enrichment - ACE
- ACE WEBSITE
- Tutoring Services:
- The ACE Lab has tutors available for EVERY subject area (including upper level math and science, writing, electives, dual credit classes, etc.). Students can request tutoring appointments by going to the ACE Academy website under students on the West Jessamine High School website. Fill out the Google form using your student email account. Students will be scheduled within 24 hours of the request.
- Testing:
- Wednesdays are testing days in the ACE lab. Students do not need to make an appointment if teachers are sending them during their class to test with a pink fast pass. Students should only make an appointment to test if they want to take the test before school or if they would like to take a test during an elective class that is on campus (on a Wednesday).
- Before School Options:
- ACE has zero block tutoring, so if students do not want to miss classes for a tutoring session or to retake a test, they can come before school (7:45 AM). When requesting an appointment, specify the before school option. Students must have a pass and need to enter through the front doors of the school.
- Writing Help:
- If students need someone to proofread an essay, research paper, scholarship application essay, or any written project for any class, students can submit their Google docs via the Writing Feedback form located on the ACE website.
- Questions? Please email Ms. Landon: katie.landon@jessamine.kyschools.us
