As we approach Spring Break, we encourage all our scholars to continue reading and engaging in fun learning opportunities! To keep your child reading over Spring Break, be sure they read at least 30 – 60 minutes a day. In addition, set goals for the number of words your child should read by the end of break and do something special when he/she reaches it. 

We are excited to share that IDEA’s AR & iLearning Hotspot software will be available during the break. Once your scholar finishes reading a book in myON, the next step is to take the AR quiz in the Renaissance software. Your scholar can also access the fun math games and enrichment activities online through the digital resources IDEA students have through their Clever accounts.   

Students have a digital library called myON, math software called Dreambox or ST Math, science and social studies videos and games in BrainPOP all inside Clever.

All the AR and iLearning Hotspot software are available to students once they log into Clever.
