ASCS will not require IXL this summer, however we do encourage students to continue to use IXL at their 2022-23 grade level to keep math skills sharp.  We encourage parents to engage with their student in playing math based games, or perhaps invest in a math practice book for the student's grade level for those "rainy" days!
