i-Ready

SPS is using the i-Ready Diagnostic adaptive assessment program to identify the academic strengths and weaknesses and opportunities for growth of each student. As per DRVC, students must pass 2 lessons per week in ELA and Math. There is a link provided on the page below with additional information about I-Ready.
The initial I-Ready Diognostic for 2023-2024 will begin during the week of 9/18. Benchmark results will be used to individualize I-Ready levels of instruction for each student.

Walkers​: 
If you are changing your child’s method of dismissal,​ ​please send in a​ ​written​ ​note​ to your child’s homeroom teacher in the morning. If you are picking your child up at dismissal, please write a note indicating he/she will be a 'walker'. Please indicate who will be picking up your child. Please do not email your child's teacher with changes in dismissal.  S.P.S. will continue to use the PickUp Patrol App this year to manage dismissal. Thank you!
