Advanced Learning Information

 Extensions newsletter article

Dear Families:

In order to ensure that all students have access to a challenge in school, your student now has access to a new Seesaw Classroom called AL -- 5th grade. 

In this Seesaw classroom, there will be several math and literacy extensions posted for each week’s curriculum on Monday morning. If students choose to complete them, they can submit them on Seesaw. They are not required for your student but are a challenge that they can participate in. 

Amy Rountree, your school’s Advanced Learning Specialist, will post the extensions each week and will review any work submitted. At the end of the week, all of the activities will be archived so that there will not be a large backlog of assignments in the class. 

If you have questions or concerns about this new opportunity for your student, you can contact Amy at aerountree@madison.k12.wi.us.
