Hello Pirate Families,

The Louisville Middle School math team is excited to share that we’ve adopted the IXL learning platform to further support and bolster students’ math skills. IXL is a digital program that meets students where they are in math to provide personalized and interactive practice skills to fill in gaps, provide pre-teaching opportunities, and further challenge learners. It also provides an opportunity for math teachers to partner with families to share math progress.

In order to make the most of our time in math classes, students have been working in IXL for twenty minutes, three days a week during their Transitions or academic support class. While most practice activities are recommended by IXL and based on students’ individual needs, math teachers can also recommend tasks to support students with upcoming lessons. To tie in IXL work to our daily math classes, students are tracking their scores during math class. We have already seen some fantastic growth!

Students just wrapped up their IXL diagnostic assessment which provides valuable insight about student strengths and areas of needed growth. Because we love data, math teachers are using the diagnostic scores to help us refine units, plan lessons, and look at how to provide additional support or challenges to our math classes.

After completing the diagnostic assessment, each student is provided with an action plan that shows their knowledge levels in each area of math, as well as specific skill suggestions that help them make progress from where they are. The diagnostic scores are always improving, so please ask your student to share their progress. IXL is accessible from home and students can reach IXL by visiting the BVSD portal. A score of 500 indicates readiness to begin working on 5th grade skills. We know that our students have a variety of skill levels in middle school, which is why we are aiming for at least 100 points of growth, indicating a year’s worth of progress, or an end of year score indicating readiness for the next year’s math class.

Thank you,

LMS Math Team

• Bond Proposal Aims to Boost Career and College Readiness for Graduates
  

This fall, BVSD voters will cast ballots on a $350 million bond-funded school building investment proposal that would create flexible, industry-inspired learning environments at secondary schools to give students the skills and experience they need to confidently transition into today’s dynamic worlds of work or college.




Our community expects public education to provide opportunities that allow every child to succeed. Employers want education to align with workforce needs. BVSD must do more to meet this challenge – at this crucial moment.




Here is a Link to a full article on the BVSD website.

• An Important Time to Talk Health Coverage
  

Is your student without health insurance? Having health insurance is critical for children to thrive at school and in life. Children with health insurance are more likely to complete high school and graduate college compared with their peers who don’t have access to care.




Health coverage for kids benefits everyone. Studies have shown that children with health coverage are less likely to miss school due to illness and are better prepared to learn, meaning fewer missed days of work for parents. Fewer missed school days may also allow kids and teens to stay involved with after-school activities like clubs and sports. Parents can visit Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid Program) to learn more and apply for health coverage.
