iReady: i-Ready provides engaging digital instruction based on individual Diagnostic Assessment results that meet students where they are and allows them to work independently on their own online instructional plan. We strongly encourage you to have your child spend a minimum of one hour per day on Reading and one hour per day on Mathematics at home independently!
-Teachers and administrators do have the ability to track student progress and time spent using the tools from home. If your child has difficulty logging in, or you need technical assistance with i-Ready, please send an email to iready@mca.k12.pa.us and someone should get back to you within 24-48 hours. Parents may also access the i-Ready Parent Center at
