Literacy Growth Achieve 3000 |
|
|
We are focused on supporting reading growth for all of our students. Our goal is to help all students improve reading skills over time by reading texts closely, and building reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. A new resource we are using is Achieve 3000. Click on the link to learn more about how it works.
Using Achieve 3000, all 9th and 10th grade students will complete assessments that report Lexile scores. These Lexile scores measure student growth in reading skills over time. Our teachers consider Lexile scores when planning lessons and making adjustments to support student learning.
Students will learn more about their own Lexile scores, and set personal goals for improving their reading skills. Students can complete extra Achieve 3000 practice at home to improve their reading skills.

Would you access free, nutritious meals for your child if they need to isolate, quarantine, or switch to virtual learning temporarily due to COVID-19?
We want to ensure students have access to nutritious meals if they need to miss school due to isolation, quarantine, or a temporary classroom closure (typically between 7 and 10 days). MMSD has worked with Second Harvest FoodBank and other community food pantries to pair every school with food resources in the event students are sent home due to COVID-19.
We want to make sure the food pantry paired with our school is as prepared with as many resources as possible to support your family in the event of a closure. This short survey will ask if you anticipate needing to access these resources if your child is temporarily sent home due to COVID-19. If your child is sent home, our school will let you know who to contact at school to be connected to resources.
Regardless of your answer today, you and your family can still access these resources if you need to at any time. We are simply trying to get a high-level view of the need at each school for planning purposes.
If you responded to this survey sent from another school in the district, please disregard. You do not need to complete it multiple times.
