We will be using a website called IXL in our classroom this year. IXL is a comprehensive learning program offering unlimited math and language arts practice across thousands of skills. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so you have a chance to see their progress!

To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:

1. Go to https://www.ixl.com/signin/sapgs

2. Enter your child's username and password and click "Sign in."
   (Note: If the username and password are not listed below, they will be provided separately.)
   Username: first initial last name @sapgs
   ex: jsmith@sapgs
   Password : sapgs21 (please don't change this!)

IXL is designed to help your child learn at their own pace. The program is adaptive and will adjust based on your child's demonstrated understanding of the material. All of your child's results will be saved, so you can monitor their progress anytime by clicking on Analytics. For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL's free mobile apps for Apple, Android, or Kindle and sign in with your child's username and password.

I hope you'll encourage your child to use IXL regularly. Here's to a year of working together to make learning fun!

There is also an app for the tablets!
