REMINDER: All Anne Arundel County Public Schools and offices will reopen tomorrow, January 2, on normal schedules.
Hello, CSPES Families. As I hope you have learned from me, I believe in transparency. Unfortunately, our most recent round of data was as good as we had hoped. While there are many factors, I firmly believe that one reason for decreased performance is the lack of skills practiced on iReady and IXL. I spent a lot of time this week strategizing in response to the data and analyzing comparative data, and our use of iReady and IXL has dropped almost 50% since last year. While I am confident that we have a plan to move forward successfully, we cannot do it without you. Please join me in making a New Year's resolution to focus more on academic skills. As a reminder, you can practice these skills anytime at home. If your child is not bringing their Chromebook home and you want them to, please let their teacher know. If you need log-in information, please email Ms. Derin at jderin@mycsp.org; she will gladly provide it.
Finally, a great time to learn these skills is Saturday Academy. If you would like for your child to join us for an iReady/IXL session, please sign up at the following link:

If you would like more information about how to support your student at home, please reach out to their teacher or one of our student success coaches.
