View Park is offering a service called AirTutors after school. Air Tutoring is a virtual program where certified teachers work with scholars online in small groups of 5:1. AirTutoring takes place after school on Mondays from 4:00 - 4:45pm and on Wednesdays from 1pm-1:45pm. AirTutoring is provided to scholars in grades 3-5. We have a limited number of slots available so sign your scholar up today. To register, please complete the Air Tutor registration link in the Parent Square message, or return the letter that was sent home with your scholar or call the school and ask for your scholar to be added to the list. If your scholar is in the ARC after school program, they are automatically enrolled in the program.
In addition to the Air Tutoring, we need all scholars working on their online programs at home on Mondays and also over the Winter Holiday break. Scholars suffered learning loss during the remote learning due to Covid. We do not want them experiencing more learning loss over the break. To prevent learning loss, scholars will need to complete two lessons per week on iReady over the Winter Break. This is a total of 6 lessons over the 3 week holiday. Each lesson must have a pass rate of 70% or higher. If their pass rate is less than 70% then they will need to continue completing lessons until they pass 6 lessons with a score higher than 70%.
Scholars will need to complete 4 Achieve articles per week with an accuracy rate of 75% or higher. If their pass rate is less than 75% then they will need to continue completing lessons until they pass a total of four lessons with a score higher than 75%.
Scholars who go above and beyond and complete and pass 7-9 lessons on iReady or 13-15 lessons on Achieve 3000 will receive Free Dress passes. Scholars who complete and pass 10 iReady lessons or 16 or more Achieve lessons will be entered into a drawing for Free Movie Tickets. Scholars who complete and pass both 10 or more iReady lessons and 16 or more Achieve lessons will be entered into a raffle to receive tickets to an amusement park.
It’s that time of year, parents, to complete the Intent to Enroll and Intent Return forms for next year. We want every View Park scholar to be able to return to View Park next school year. Please secure your spot by completing the Intent to Enroll or Intent to Return forms for the 2023-2024 School Year.
