Student Rewards
Every student in K-6 has an i-Ready profile with learning targets related to i-Ready. Following each growth monitoring assessment and diagnostic assessment where students show growth, they will earn a ticket for a drawing (reading and math). Students may earn up to two tickets in December, January, February, March, and April. Three winning tickets will be drawn in May.
The three students will have their choice of a pair of Nike Air Jordan's or a $200 gift card.
Every student has the opportunity to win!
