STUDY ISLAND

The students have begun working on Study Island in Tech Lab!  This online math program keeps track of student's progress and can be used at home.  It is a great way to expose students to mathematical concepts and skills before the NJ ASK.   The students earn blue ribbons as they master  each skill.  The students know their username and password and can enter the Study Island sight from the OCS Webpage under Student Information.
