Assessments at home
If your child is a fully virtual student, you may be asked to help administer their iReady Reading and Math assessments at home. These assessments are what we call diagnostic screening. They tell your child's teacher what he/she already knows and can do AND what they haven't learned yet. This is information is critical for the teacher to have to design instruction that meets your child's specific learning needs. The assessments are fully online within the iReady program. Your school will contact you if your child will need to take this assessment at home.
If your child will be taking this assessment at home, please watch the video below to learn more.
