Announcements
IXL Access for All Students!
We’re excited to share that every student now has full access to IXL, our online platform for personalized math practice. Each child has been assigned a preset learning plan tailored to their current skill levels and goals. Students can log in at school or at home to complete their recommended skills, build confidence, and strengthen mastery at their own pace. The flyer below contains additional information about the IXL program.
Thank you for supporting their learning!
Emergency Cards - Updates Requested
We are asking all families to complete the Emergency Card for your student as soon as possible. Log into your parent portal to update the Emergency Card. This information is essential for keeping your child safe during the school day.
Having the most up‑to‑date health and contact information ensures that we can reach you quickly in an emergency, respond appropriately to any medical needs, and provide the safest environment for your student. Without accurate information, there may be delays in reaching you or challenges in providing timely care should your child become ill or injured at school.
Thank you for your cooperation!
