November 12 - 15

Everyone should have their  usernames and passwords to accesswww.pearsonsuccess.net  You will press login and enter your child’s username and password. Then you will click on “to do” in the top right hand corner to access the work the program assigned them based on what they missed on their test. We will not use these worksheets in class but it will be great homework for you to print and do at home.

Everyone is taking their reading test on the computers but we realize that testing on the computer is a skill, so anyone who scores below an A is also given the opportunity to take it on paper. We will then take the higher score and enter it into INow for their test grade. In signed papers you will receive a slip of paper with your child’s test grade. If you notice a test stapled to that paper, it is because they retook it on paper and scored higher. If you only receive the one slip of paper with a test grade recorded, that means they took the test on the computer and scored well, or they took the test on paper and scored lower than the computer test. I only record the highest score.
