I-Ready and RAZ Kids Update: Urgent
Administration called a meeting this week about RAZ Kids and I-ready. We have new requirements for these programs:
Time requirements for the programs are as follows:
I-Ready- 90 per subject per week
RAZ Kids- 100 minutes per week (20 minutes per day)
The reason for this change? To promote academic growth in the areas of math and reading!
Remember that you get weekly participation points for working in there programs, which does count as your overall grade in math and reading. Make it count!

OLS Progress Reminder
*You should be completing 2% - 3% progress in each course per week.
*If you started at MVCA on the first day of school (September 8) you should be at 60% in your courses.
Want to view your student's progress? Under the LC account click on "progress > progress."
**If you come across an optional lesson in any course, it is your decision to skip it. However, if you do skip it, that does not count as completing a lesson for the day. You will either need to complete the optional lesson or skip until you reach the next required lesson, and complete that instead.
