Hello!
I hope you had a great first week back! We've got a lot of super fun stuff planned for you this week. Please see the flyers below in the ISOK Student Support schedule for more information. As you complete work in your courses, please ensure you don't forget to complete the MOY (Middle of the Year) Star360 assessments. All students, new and returning, are required to complete the reading and math assessments. There is more information below. The MOY deadline is Wednesday, March 31! If you haven't completed it yet, you only have a couple days left. Please let me know if you need help getting those done.
In March, the ISOK Student Support Team will be leading the The Time is Now Mindset. We'll be celebrating and acknowledging Women's History Month, National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week, Self-injury Awareness Day, and many more ASCA Awareness Days.
Each week you'll find news, information, action items, and fun from the ISOK Student Support Team! Please read carefully and enjoy this issue of The Power Ranger Press!

Required Assessments for ALL Students
Complete Midyear Start360 Assessments
All students in 9th-12th grades will take Star360 assessments this year for math and reading. These will be taken in August, January, and May. Additionally, all students will be taking a USA Test Prep assessment in October and March to ensure students are meeting their grade level standards and to simulate state testing. These assessments are required and help our teachers target instruction to meet students’ needs and ensure growth. It is important that students complete these assessments on their own, without assistance from learning coaches or other sources.
Your teachers will also send out information to complete Star360 assessments, but students may begin now to complete them.

Social Online Sessions and Sharing Contact Information
Insight School of Oklahoma (“ISOK”) students are permitted to share contact information during online social sessions. Sessions are monitored by ISOK staff, but it is the responsibility of the parent to discuss personal family rules and expectations regarding which contact information may be shared with classmates.
Parents are further advised that information and images shared during these social sessions may be available to all users of these sessions and are therefore no longer private. ISOK cannot
guarantee the security of information that is disclosed or communicated online in such sessions, and parents authorize the release of such information at their own risk.
The right to participate in online sessions is a privilege. If, in the sole and exclusive opinion
of ISOK, the conduct of a student warrants the termination of this privilege, a student will be
removed from the social sessions.
