Istation
The Istation is a computerized literacy program. Every month the students are assessed in areas, such as, comprehension, vocabulary, and word analysis. We have scheduled all 7th and 8th grade students to log in for at least 35 minutes a week.
This year Istation may also be used at home; therefore, homework will be assigned and students are required to fulfill the assignments.
Accelerated Reader is also used during school time. Students are required to maintain a self sustained reading schedule of their own to complete proper assignments.
