IXL information and usernames

Dear Parents,

I am pleased to tell you that we will be using the  IXL program again this year.  For those who are unfamiliar with IXL, it  is a comprehensive learning program offering unlimited math practice problems in thousands of skills—all of which are aligned to the Common Core. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so you have a chance to see your child’s progress!

To get your child started on your home computer, please go to IXL.com.  Sign them in using their username (These are listed below next to your child’s first name).  The password for all students is: 1234

Students will click on the name of the subject they’d like to work on at the top of the page and navigate to their grade or ability level. They can select a specific skill to practice from the list of skills. They can place their mouse over any skill to see a sample question and click on the link to begin.

IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The program is adaptive and will adjust based on your child’s demonstrated understanding of the material. All of your child’s results will be saved, so you can monitor his or her progress anytime by clicking on the Analytics tab at the top of the page. For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL’s free tablet apps for iPad, Android, or Kindle and sign in with your child’s username and password.
