ISOK Middle School ~1/10/2021
Hello ISOK Middle School!!!
Happy New Year to everyone! Welcome back returning stories and welcome to all of our new students! We are so glad you are all here!!
I hope that the welcome back and class set up sessions last week were fun and also helped you get ready to start classes this week! It is required for all students to complete Online Learning Course, Math Star 360 and Math Reading assessments. If you are not sure if you have completed it, or have questions about logging in, you can email me or ask one of your teachers.
You should see 4 class connect sessions starting tomorrow - Math, Science, English and Social Studies/History. If you are missing any of these, please email me and I will get it fixed as soon as possible.
Elective classes and advisory groups will begin next week, so watch for those to show up on your class connect schedules later this week.
I hope you have a wonderful week!!!
Mrs. Carrie Smith

K12 Rebrands to Stride, Inc.
The parent company of ISOK has recently changed its corporate name from K12 to Stride, Inc. As a learning company, the Stride Mission is to help learners of all ages reach their full potential through inspired teaching and personalized learning.
Learning never stops. It’s the best means of growth throughout your life. But learning simply cannot be one-size-fits-all. Our company is leading enormous and necessary change in a sector that’s left far too many behind. And it’s required us to challenge long-accepted beliefs and practices. With insight and input from learners, parents, school districts, boards of education, and policymakers, we continue to provide more effective ways to learn — focusing on building the skills and confidence learners need to make their way forward in life.
Whether you are just starting with us or have been around for many years, please know that this corporate name change does not affect any of the education or support ISOK provides for your students. Our school will continue to provide the same great education, curriculum and materials you have received from us since your ISOK journey began. Our support of lifelong learning enhances the strength of our high school curriculum which prepares students for colleges and careers and provides opportunities for learning beyond high school.
For now, there is nothing you need to do. Eventually, the brand and logo you see, as well as our email address, may change. Rest assured that we will communicate those changes to you as they occur.
Please enjoy a quick video which highlights these exciting changes, or click here to learn more about Stride!
We are excited to announce our school’s new Tutoring Initiative! ISOK will offer personalized academic tutoring based on your child’s needs with an emphasis in the subjects of English Language Arts (Reading/Writing) and Mathematics.
At this time, our new tutoring program will be completely virtual through an online service called TutorMe. Through this program, your child will be able to access a tutor at any time of the day to work on any subject. While the emphasis will be in math and reading, tutors for all subjects are available. The tutor will work with your child’s curriculum to help them improve their grades and gain confidence. The focus of tutoring is to equip your child with different methods of learning so they can have life-long skills in how to best solve problems for assignments, homework and projects.
