The Michigan Learning Channel will be launching its spring season on April 5 with new programs featuring Michigan educators.
Making its debut in April for young readers in kindergarten through third grade will be Read, Write, ROAR! - a reading and English Language Arts program produced in collaboration with literacy coaches statewide and the educators at MAISA, Michigan's association of county Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) and Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESAs).
Also debuting will be new episodes of the Michigan Learning Channel's popular K-3 program, Math Mights, which also features Michigan teachers.
The spring season will also feature two new programs for Pre-K students, including Simple Gifts, a magazine-style show with an emphasis on music and movement, and Storytime from the Ann Arbor District Library.

A Google Survey will be sent out to our LV families. We will be administering the test in two sessions per day. Parents will have a choice on when they would like their child to test.
The two sessions that parents can choose from are
9:30a-10:45a or 1:30p-2:45p
This year there is no option to take the assessment remotely so all LV students will be asked to come into Coolidge for testing. If your student is going to participate in this testing, know that all mitigation measures must be followed. These measures include completing our daily screener before coming to Coolidge and wearing a mask. LV students will be testing in their teacher's classroom to allow proper distancing. LV parents must provide transportation to and from testing. Details for drop off times and materials that LV students should bring with them will be shared with families at a later time.
As we plan for this testing, we recognize that not everyone will feel comfortable with testing in person and we are available to answer any questions you may have. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your student’s teacher or myself.
