ALEKS Math Summer 2016
Welcome to ALEKS Math Summer 2016!
This summer we will be offering a few options for students to continue working throughout the summer. Each option is outlined below. Sign up today and begin right away.
*We are currently located at the High School Campus in the Computer Lab upstairs. Please enter through the main entrance (Galena Avenue).
NEW THIS SUMMER: I will also be taking questions throughout the week via our ALEKS Math Facebook page. My hope is that this will be especially helpful for those students that are working throughout the summer on their own. At this time, I am planning on answering questions on Thursday mornings via Facebook Live. If you are not available for the Live session, the video will be recorded and remain active on our page. All weekly questions must be submitted in advance each week by Wednesday at 12:30pm.
*Please note that this is a new Q/A option I'm testing out this summer, so we may have a few issues while we get the hang of it.

OPTION #1
Work ON OWN at home only!
*This option is helpful for any ALEKS student that wants to exercise their brain throughout the summer.
If choosing this option, your student will NOT be monitored by the school. Your student will continue to work at home learning topics, and will take assessments whenever they are triggered. Assessments will automatically begin after the student has learned several topics or has been working for several hours. These assessments can be taken at home.
*Because this option is not monitored at all, your student will take a comprehensive assessment at the beginning of the school year to see how much they have retained on their own and to get a starting point for the school year.

OPTION #2
Work ON OWN at home, and take regular weekly assessments at school.
*This option is especially helpful for those students that are trying to complete their current course before the beginning of the next school year.
Your student will continue to work at home learning topics, but will choose a day to come to school to take a regular weekly assessment. There are no weekly requirements, but we recommend learning at least 10 topics before taking the weekly assessment.

OPTION #3
Work ON OWN at school on Tuesday and/or Wednesday mornings, and take regular weekly assessments at school.
This option is especially helpful for those students that need a regular day/time/place to do their work each week. This is a good option for MOST students.
Your student will choose to work on Tuesday and/or Wednesday mornings.
*If choosing Tuesday or Wednesday only, your student will take the regular weekly assessment at the end of their work time. Please allow an extra 30 to 40 minutes after work time for your student to complete the regular weekly assessment.
*If choosing both days, your student will take the regular weekly assessment at the end of their work time on Wednesday. Again, please allow an extra 30 to 40 minutes after work time on Wednesday for your student to complete the assessment.

OPTION #4
Work with assistance at school with up to three other students at the same time, and take regular weekly assessments at school.
*Please note that not all time slots are available, as those times have already been reserved for tutoring purposes/required summer school. There will most likely always be a few students in the room at any given time.
This is a good option for students that need a bit more assistance with topics and note-taking.
