Dear Parent/Guardian,

At Henderson Middle School, we are using a program called Study Island, an online learning resource that will help students with Georgia Standards of Excellence mastery. Your child can access Study Island free of charge anywhere that Internet access is available. Study Island has site-wide security features in place to provide greater peace of mind.

To access Study Island visit www.studyisland.com

We are excited about the benefits this program can bring to our students and we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. Students will have access to K-12 curriculum in each content area (language arts, math, science, and social studies). Students will need to complete the diagnostics test in each content area first, then they will be given access to videos, practice questions, and games to strengthen their knowledge in the content area. Students should use this throughout the summer to either remediate/enrich skills in all the content areas.

As part of Study Island, Blue Ribbons are awarded to students when they master 70% of a topic. Throughout the summer, make sure to take a look at how many blue ribbons your student has received for their hard work.

If you do not have internet access at home, your student will be able to use the facilities at the local library.

Thank you for your time as we enrich the lives of our students.

Sincerely,

Donnie R. Davis Jr., Ph.D.
