BRIGHTBYTES DATA - Have YOU answered the survey?
On April 8th, our BrightBytes data collection began. The data collected provides insight around how MSD of Mt. Vernon uses technology to enhance student learning. We need to gather input from teachers, administrators, and students in grades 3-12. Our collection will be extended until April 22nd. Please help us reach statistical significance for your school by encouraging competition of the survey.
If you haven't completed the survey, consider doing it today!

iReady Resources: Looking for ideas after your state assessment?
After your state assessment, you may be looking for resources to use to finish up the year. Here are some of our recommendations!
Use the Ready Math in Action lessons
You may not have had time to do these end-of-unit lessons during the year, particularly if you had early testing dates. These lessons are a great way to reinforce key concepts and have students apply multiple concepts together in more rigorous, multi-step problem solving.
Use i-Ready Diagnostic data to target instruction
Use mid-year grouping profiles to target instruction on students’ weakest skills—either from the current year or earlier grades.
- For teacher-led small group instruction, use activities from earlier grades or lessons found in the Teacher Resource Book or the Tools for Instruction.
- For student-led small groups, use targeted Center Activities on the Teacher Toolbox and/or the Unit Games from the Practice and Problem Solving book.
- For individual practice, use the Independent Practice pages from Ready Instruction or the corresponding practice pages from the Practice and Problem Solving book.
Use i-Ready (digital) Instruction
Have students continue to work on i-Ready digital instruction to fill individual gaps using their individualized instructional path. You can also reinforce key grade-level concepts that students may have struggled with during the year.
Use Teacher Toolbox resources to prepare for next year
For students who have a solid foundation of current grade-level content, preview some of the upcoming topics that students will see at the beginning of next year using Ready resources on the Teacher Toolbox.
