Academic Intervention
IXL for Reading Intervention
Students who demonstrated low proficiency on their 2022 Fall STAR Reading assessment and their 2022 SCReady ELA assessment are being enrolled in IXL, an online personalized learning platform that will provide individual guidance towards improvement. IXL classes will take place during scheduled intervention time.
If you have not received your child's STAR report please contact your child's teacher.
ALEKS for Math Intervention
ALEKS is an online learning program that offers course products for math. It is a proven, online learning platform that helps educators and parents understand each student's knowledge and learning progress in depth, and provides the individual support required for every student to achieve mastery. All students have a login and should be completing daily lessons at home and in school.
Free ID Replacement on Nov 1st and 2nd 8:15am - 8:40am
2-Day Free ID Replacement
All students are required to wear ID's at all times. This means ID's are needed at school, at games, at dances, and at all other school-related events.
If your child has lost their ID, have them come to the media center on November 1, 2022 or November 2, 2022, between 8:15am and 8:40am for a free replacement. After November 2nd, the replacement fee will be $5 for an ID/lanyard and $1 for just a lanyard.
After our free week of reissuing ID's, consequences will be issued to students who do not have ID's. You will be contacted after a student is given the third warning for not having an ID.
