Aleks math pilot launched
The Math Department has launched Aleks, an online math program as a pilot for this summer to support student practice and enrichment in grades 4-8. Currently there are 1325 students who have been actively engaging with the program since it launched on June 1st. A list of additional resources for students in grades K-8 is also being shared for families to access over the summer.
The feedback from parents and students regarding Aleks has been incredibly positive. Here are some of the things they have been saying:
Our Parents:
“Thank you for providing this resource, my child has been struggling in 4th grade and he likes working in this program.”
“He’s on ALEKS now! I’m excited that he’s able to take a small part of his day to practice math!”
“Gracias maestra por todo su esfuerzo para nuestros hijos”
“My 5th grade daughter likes that the program saves the work and they can pick up where they left off.”
“We initially enrolled him in the Algebra in ALEKS and thought he would complete that easily because he had a ‘B’ in the course during the school year. This practice is good for him. Thank you.”
“Thank you for allowing my 8th grader to use the program. We thought it wouldn’t be available for students who graduated.”
Our Students:
“Hi, I completed my assessment today and my score went up! I like this program and have more topics to learn.”
“I am in my 6th grade class and thought I could go to the next level. I was surprised that I didn’t know everything and have more to learn.”
“Gracias por la oportunidad de tomar esta clase.”
“ I have just started my learning path and I am excited to FINALLY LEARN on ALEKS! My goal is to master all the topics I need to learn before the start of 6th grade. Then I will know everything and understand the basics of the math easily.”
