During this week teachers will be introducing students to the SuccessMaker Program that began last year.

What parents must realize with the program if the child just turn it on and does a few problems and then walks away the program will shut down and not register a score.

During Christmas Recess students will be required to do one hour per week in Mathematics and  one hour in Reading.

Therefore 

2 hours -- Mathematics

2 hours - Reading
