IXL is a software program that allows students to work at their own level, but it also provides a challenge for those students that are above and beyond the regular IXL curriculum. We especially like the program because those students that are below grade level (3 or more levels) are provided work to build up skills needed to success in the current class.

Each student has his/her own username and password. They may also work on IXL outside of the classroom. They have access to their "work" on any computer at home, iPad, etc.

At their request, We can provide username and password to parents.
