This semester, MVMS has launched a TIER II Intervention Time to support ALL students! 📚✏️
As part of this initiative, our students take a reading and math diagnostic test three times a year. From the results of the diagnostic , iReady creates a personalized "My Path" tailored to each student's individual needs. During the first half of Homeroom time, students work hard on their My Path lessons.
💡 Our School-Wide Goal: Pass 300 My Path lessons per week.
💥 Our First Week Result: Over 500 lessons completed!
A huge shoutout to Mr. Cihacek's homeroom for earning the title of "Homeroom of the Week" with the highest average of passed lessons per student! 🙌
