We use the mClass platform to assess students' foundational reading skills and reading comprehension level 3 times per year. Home Connect letters will be sent to you at the end of each benchmarking period so you can follow your child's growth and achievement.

For students who demonstrate a need for extra support, we also use mClass to progress monitor his/her response to interventions to ensure he/she is making progress toward grade-level standards.
