Superintendent's Update: Thursday June 11 Update

This will be my last blog for a little while since the school year is ending. I will still post updates over the summer as we continue to work diligently to plan for the re-opening of schools, but the posts will not be as frequent. Since this is the last one for a while, I thought I'd give it the more personal touch with a video. Please click on the video recorded message below and then find the links discussed in my update below that. Here goes!

ExactPath Summer Option For All Student K-12

Recognizing that some of you may want your child to continue with their learning this summer, we are providing an online learning program from Edmentum called Exact Path for all students K-12. This exciting digital tool personalizes learning across grades K–12 in reading, language arts, and math. It starts by targeting each student’s academic strengths and weaknesses with a computer-adaptive assessment, and then it prescribes a tailored playlist of lessons, practice, and short quizzes at their learning level. Students can earn rewards and monitor their own progress each step of the way.

Please join us for ExactPath introduction Zoom meeting on 6/23 to learn more about it and how to register your child for it:
