Welcome back to the Weekly Newsletter! Tomorrow and Wednesday are the Math State Exams for our 6th and 7th Graders and our 8th Grade students will take practice Algebra and Living Environment Regents Exams. We are so excited for our students to get the chance to share their knowledge and see their growth over the course of the school year. Make sure your students get a good night of sleep and a healthy breakfast to start their day!

Due to state testing, ELT is cancelled this Wednesday except for sports teams, policy debate, and SHSAT prep. ELT will resume on Thursday.

One of our goals this year is for every student at MS 50 to complete 30 minutes of i-Ready ELA lessons and 30 minutes of i-Ready math lessons as part of their homework every week. Teachers will check the previous week’s work every Monday. Students can use their @nycstudents account to log into i-Ready by visiting clever.com.

If logging in on an iPad, you must first download and login to the Clever app. You can then launch i-Ready from Clever and students will be logged in. Download this information sheet for more detailed instructions.
