Coolidge iReady Diagnostic
The iReady window is open at Coolidge and throughout LPS. We will be administering the iReady remotely this fall (Window 1). Your student will begin the test as a class with live proctoring. Students that do not finish during the live session can complete the work asynchronously. Your child's classroom teacher will communicate the testing date for your class.
Rationale for administering iReady remotely
Since we have eliminated some computer labs in buildings and handed out a large portion of our Chromebooks, we currently have a smaller in-person testing capacity.
We don’t want students to share any devices to accommodate testing.
When we return to in-person instruction, we don’t want to begin that experience with a test.
Administering the test remotely guarantees we have met dates of testing requirements related to the 3rd Grade Reading Bill.
Considerations for administering iReady remotely
- Please review the attached documents about preparing for testing day. (See Below)
Know this test is designed for students to miss half the questions, which can be a frustrating experience for many of our students. This will also be frustrating for parents to watch. The test design allows us to identify a student's just right level in reading and math.
We want to see what our Coolidge Cougars can do on their own, so please do not assist them with the questions.

ACTION REQUIRED: School packets are now electronic
Dear LPS Parents/Guardians,
We are pleased to inform you that the ‘back to school packet’ that parents would normally fill out, sign, and return to the school is now in an electronic format. Each form in the ‘packet’ is now available on your Parent Connect account and can be ‘signed’ electronically.
We are asking that all parents/guardians log in to their Parent Connect account to update and confirm the information. A new tab titled, ‘Back to School Updates’ on Parent Connect has been activated and will now allow parents to directly edit items such as emergency contact information and student health information. Other requirements include confirmations of items such as internet usage rules, medical authorization, and a student handbook review.
Although many will find the new process to be self-explanatory, instructions are provided in an attachment to this email.
Please take a few moments before the end of next week to complete the required updates. We are expecting parents to have completed their updates by October 2, 2020. Specific questions regarding this process are best directed to your student’s school secretary.
Thank you for your participation in this change to our annual process.
Sincerely,
Daniel R. Willenborg
Director of Secondary Programs
