NEW Parent/Student Math Intervention Program
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we reflect on our mission in 27J of ensuring all students have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for present and future competence and success, we understand the challenges we are facing to close the gaps in math learning. We want to empower all of our students toward academic success and provide the necessary resources to make this happen. We utilize our core math programs of Bridges and enVision to offer strong tier 1 math instruction. Within these programs there are resources that support the diverse needs of our learners.
To further support the differentiation toward all students’ learning and growth, we have started a process of looking at programs that will allow us to be proactive in delivering real time math support, through an online program for individual students.
We have narrowed our search to two programs and would love your feedback. Attached you will find links to overviews and demo accounts for each program for you and your child to engage in. Additionally, we have added a Google Form for you to share your feedback with us. Your feedback and voice matters to us as we determine the best program for our students in 27J. Please share your feedback with us by March 7th.
Thank you for your time and perspective as we couldn’t do this without you.
