LUES FAMILY FOCUS- ESTABLISHING ROUTINES
Morning Routine: A structured morning routine can set a positive tone for the day, and help reduce morning chaos and rush. As you create a routine, think about including getting dressed, eating breakfast (at home or school), brushing your teeth, and reviewing the day's schedule.

The LUES Family Focus for this month is ESTABLISHING ROUTINES. Remember that establishing routines takes time and patience, especially at the beginning of the school year. So, be flexible and make adjustments as needed. You will quickly find out how beneficial having routines can be for your whole family!
Toombs County Schools will proceed with the first day of school tomorrow, Friday, August 9, 2024. In working with county officials, a few roads in the county are still being worked on, however, our transportation department and bus drivers are working to contact those families to ensure safe travels to school. We are excited to see everyone tomorrow!
Missing a day of school here and there may not seem like much, but absences add up. Let's have a successful year together!
We are very excited to be hosting the 3rd annual Toombs County Downtown Community Tailgate on Aug 23rd (4:30-6:30) in downtown Lyons!

Estimados padres/madres y tutores/as:
Me emociona compartir con vosotros que nuestro/a colegio está implementando un programa de Matemáticas/Lectura/Matemáticas y Lectura llamado i-Ready. A continuación, encontraréis información sobre el programa y cómo lo usaremos en el aula.
¿Qué es i-Ready?
i-Ready es un programa en línea que nos ayudará a determinar los puntos fuertes y áreas que mejorar de tu hijo/a, a personalizar su aprendizaje y a supervisar su progreso durante el año escolar. i-Ready nos permite saber el nivel de tu hijo/a y nos proporciona datos para orientar la enseñanza.
El Diagnóstico de i-Ready consiste en una evaluación adaptativa que elabora las preguntas para ajustarse a las necesidades del niño/a. Cada elemento que recibe el alumno se basa en la respuesta a la pregunta anterior. Por ejemplo, una serie de respuestas correctas hará que se generen preguntas un poco más difíciles y una serie de respuestas incorrectas un poco más fáciles. El objetivo de esto no es poner una nota o calificación a tu hijo/a, sino determinar la mejor forma de apoyar su aprendizaje.
i-Ready Instruction ofrece a los alumnos lecciones basadas en sus puntos fuertes y áreas que mejorar individualmente. Estas lecciones son interactivas y proporcionan apoyos estratégicos para que el alumno no se aburra mientras aprende.
¿Qué puedo hacer para ayudar?
Para ayudar a preparar al alumno para el Diagnóstico de i-Ready, anímale a que:
· Duerma bien y desayune bien el día de la evaluación.
· Haga todo lo posible en cada pregunta y no tenga prisa.
· Trate de no preocuparse por las preguntas que no sepa: recuérdale que se espera que responda la mitad de las preguntas correctamente.
· Sea respetuoso con otros alumnos que tarden más en terminar.
Para apoyar el aprendizaje del alumno en Online Instruction, puedes:
· Hablar del progreso de tu hijo/a en sus lecciones de i-Ready.
· Celebrar el aprendizaje y crecimiento de tu hijo/a.
¡Gracias por tu continuo apoyo y por colaborar en el aprendizaje de tu hijo/a! Espero poder compartir información sobre i-Ready contigo durante todo el año. Si tienes alguna pregunta sobre i-Ready, no dudes en ponerte en contacto conmigo o con el colegio. También puede obtener más información sobre i-Ready en i-ReadyCentral.com/FamilyCenter.
Atentamente,
Rhonda Stone

Dear Families,
I am excited to share that our school will be using a Mathematics/Reading/Mathematics and Reading program called i-Ready. This is considered a testing environment very much like the Georgia Milestones. We need students to be on time to school (7:45 am) and stay all day (2:45 pm). If they miss a testing portion, they will have to make it up during lunch, recess, and/or connections.
What is i-Ready? i-Ready is an online program that will help us determine your child’s strengths and areas for growth, personalize their learning, and monitor their progress throughout the school year. i-Ready allows us to meet your child where they are and provides us with data to inform instruction.
The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions based on student responses. Each item a student receives is based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier ones. The purpose of this is not to give your child a score or grade but to determine how to best support their learning.
i-Ready Instruction provides students with lessons based on their individual strengths and areas for growth. These lessons are interactive and provide strategic supports to keep your child engaged as they learn. They are to complete 45 minutes a week on iReady during a structured class time period. They will set individual goals to pass lessons at their own pace and on their own level.
What can YOU do to help?
To help prepare your child for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to:
· Get a good night’s sleep and eat a full breakfast the day of the assessment.
· Try their best on each question and try not to rush.
· Try not to worry about questions they do not know—remind them that it is expected they will get only about half of the questions correct.
· Be respectful of other students who take longer to finish.
· Remind them to Use paper and pencil to show work for math questions.
To support your child’s learning with online lessons, you can:
· Discuss your child’s progress on their i-Ready lessons.
· Celebrate your child’s learning and growth.
Students scoring GREEN on their iReady Assessment in either category will receive EXTRA RECESS on August 23, 2024.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in your child’s learning! I look forward to sharing i-Ready information with you throughout the year. If you have any questions about i-Ready, please do not hesitate to contact me or the school. You can also learn more about i-Ready by visiting i-ReadyCentral.com/FamilyCenter.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Stone
