Homework Clarification 8/20/18

The homework packet mentions something about prodigy but I have not sent home the login information for that yet. It will go home tomorrow.

Here is the website to go to for your child to complete iReady lessons at home www.clever.com/in/sonoranschools

It is not required to complete these lessons at home. If you choose to have your child complete some lessons at home, it is important that your child does these lessons on his/her own in order for him/her to completely learn and grow academically.

Their user name and password is the same - their student id number. If you don't have your child's school id number, please let me know and I can get it to you.


 Here is the Hooda Math link mentioned in the homework packet.

Clubs are held on Mondays. Please return your selection for clubs for your child as soon as you can so that we can assign your child to the appropriate club.

First Full Week of School

Beginning this week, for the next 3 weeks K-8 students will begin iReady placement testing. Students only need to do their best. The test is adaptive so they may see questions covering material they have not yet learned. This helps us determine what they know and what they need to learn this year so that we can help each child grow to his/her fullest potential.

There is no reason to stress over this assessment. Students only need to pay attention and do their best. There is a three week testing period, though students will be testing for only 2 of the days during these three weeks.
