Prep Students Dive into the IXL Universe
October 19th, 2023
Hold onto your calculators because we've just unlocked a treasure trove of mathematical wonders for your young scholars! We are thrilled to announce the addition of IXL, a powerhouse program that's set to revolutionize the way your kids experience math from grades 3 to 8.
IXL is designed to propel your child's understanding of numbers into the stratosphere. From the basics of arithmetic to the complexity of Algebra II, IXL spans the entire mathematical spectrum, complete with word problems, math modeled with visuals, and standards-aligned assessments.
Homework Just Got a Whole Lot Cooler
Imagine math homework that feels more like a leveled game than a repetitive task. With IXL, that's exactly what your child can expect as they collect their "gold medals" for correctly answering questions. Our students are already using IXL for practice classwork, homework assignments, and as an extension resource for those hungry for a mathematical challenge.
IXL’s real-time feedback provides instant insights into your child's progress. And with examples, tutorials, and review videos at their fingertips, your child becomes the navigator of their own math journey, knowing exactly where they stand and where they need to go next.
Trenton in 4th grade says "My teacher assigns programs for me in IXL from the unit we are doing in class. I like it because I can practice and get better at my math facts."
Diagnostics: Illuminating the Path to Mathematical Mastery
Last week our students took their first diagnostic snapshot on IXL. This isn't just an assessment; it's a map that guides teachers and support teams to tailor a comprehensive skill plan for each student based on their unique needs. Think of it as the GPS guiding your child through the twists and turns of mathematical mastery.
¡Hola IXL! Spanish Skills in the Mix
But wait, there's more! Students in grades 5-8 aren't just mastering math; they're also toning their linguistic muscles. Our students are using IXL in Spanish to enhance their listening and reading skills.
Get ready to witness your child's mathematical brilliance shine brighter than ever before! Visit www.ixl.com and log in as your student for more information and to see their real-time progress.
Happy calculating!

From day one,children are treated as capable individuals and future leaders, given responsibility and made to feel part of a community.

What began that year as a group of only eight teachers has grown into a cohort of twenty-four summer grant participants, all working to strengthen and elevate our academic program.
