School News and Events
Last week students were assessed on their reading skills using the Istation program. Students are monitored monthly on their reading progress each month. Istation is a interactive standardized test that assesses word analysis, vocabulary, comprehension, and text fluency. After testing this week, all students should complete their Istation learning path per their February tier group to help develop their reading skills. This is done for homework weekly, but may be done in elective classes.
All students are learning the 12 Powerful Words to help them prepare for standardized test vocabulary. Here is a Quizlet link to help them study.
