DISTANCE LEARNING

Kindergarten through Third Grade can now access digitally their Open Court textbook and learning activities such as phonics cards. Go to www.my.mheducation.com, Use the username - opencourtstudent and the password - mhe2020ela. Choose your grade level, and then choose your class’ current unit. The story can be professionally read to your child by clicking on the speaker icon.

ACCELERATED READER

Due to the extension of our distance learning dates beyond our original plan, the Accelerated Reader testing site will now be open school days 7:30 AM - 7:30 PM. The AR testing site is https://hosted242.renlearn.com/59661/  Please remember that this is an independent quiz and all students should do their own work, without help or looking back in the book, just as they would at school. Mrs. Cox will be available to email with Accelerated Reader technical questions during these time periods. Please email her at karen.cox@ctkschooljax.com with concerns. Because of the complexity of this process, 1st and 2nd grade have decided on alternative reading assignments for the fourth quarter and will not take Accelerated Reader quizzes for a grade.

ATTENDANCE & GRADING

Teachers are taking attendance. Please make sure your child/ren are checking in and performing the tasks assigned. The Commissioner of Education for the State of Florida is requiring students attend school daily and considers this fourth quarter of equal weight to the previous three quarters.
