Report Cards/IXL Diagnostic/Lexia End of Trimester Progress

2nd trimester report cards were sent home on Wednesday.  If you have any questions regarding your child’s report card please feel free to email me.  In addition, check out your child's IXL Diagnostic levels. They should start in the 300s. If the scores are lower, extra time is needed to fill the gaps in math before 4th grade. Also, Lexia scores for 3rd grade are 13-15. At this point, they should be close to or on level 15. If your child is below, extra time would be so helpful.  Thank you for all you do to support your child’s learning at home!
