*Best for all families.

Join us for an interactive workshop designed to help families make the most of the tools available to track scholar learning. Together, we’ll explore ParentVUE and i-Ready reports so you can clearly see where your scholar is academically, celebrate their growth, and identify areas for support. We’ll also walk through practical strategies for goal setting at home, giving you and your scholar a shared roadmap for success. By the end of this session, you’ll feel more confident navigating progress reports, supporting your scholar’s goals, and partnering with their teachers for a stronger school year.

*Best for middle and high school families.

Artificial Intelligence has made it easier than ever for students to skip the hard parts of learning, and harder than ever for teachers to make the case for why those hard parts matter. This lesson helps students reflect on what they actually want from learning, then puts that self-knowledge to work: Using a four-criteria rubric, students evaluate their school's real AI policy and consider recommendations to strengthen it in support of student learning. It's a chance for students to engage seriously with a policy that affects them and to make their voices heard.

Review our district guidelines for students in the context of this digital citizenship lesson.
