What's Up with Lexia?
We have Lexia at least through December. The district uploaded our students last week, so you are ready to go. Please encourage your students to use it at home as well. Additionally, please use Lexia as an intervention tool with any student that you are worried about. The data tracking will help us evaluate the needs.
