Summer 2020 Skills Requirements
Assignments found on Google Classroom - Grades P4 – 7 (2019-2020 grade)
All Saints Catholic School uses IXL, an on-line platform offering practice in Math / Language Arts designed to help your student learn at his or her own pace. The program is adaptive and will adjust based on your child’s demonstrated understanding of the material, so it is important that your student practice as independently as possible. All of your student’s results are saved, so that you can monitor his or her progress anytime by clicking on Analytics. For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL’s free tablet apps for iPad, Android or Kindle, where your student can sign in with his or her username and password.
Students entering Grades K – 8 for 2020-2021 (in P4 - grade 7 for 2019-2020), including new students, will be required to complete IXL practice as listed below. This practice will help prevent the loss of academic skills over the summer, as well as provide our teachers with personalized data noting your student’s strengths and weaknesses.
