Partner School of the Month

Congratulations to Oglethorpe High School in Georgia, our October Partner School of the Month!! Students at Oglethorpe have started the year strong with 14.6% of students having already accomplishing one or more levels of growth. Together, students have worked over 1,000 hours in Ascend Math and completed over 1,800 lessons. Amazing work, students and educators!!

Coach Stoud’s Basic Guide to THRIVING in Ascend Math:

  1. BE ON TIME TO CLASS – Being on time is important for the rest of your LIFE!
  2. BRING A FULLY CHARGED SCHOOL-ISSUED DEVICE – bring the tools you need to do the job that is expected of you.
  3. WORK TO MAKE PROGRESS EVERY DAY – Progress = Success
  4. BE RESPECTFUL and USE MANNERS – life is too short to be mean or rude.
  5. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE – Ascend, Edgenuity and Google are the ONLY sites you are allowed to use. Be advised, all actions are monitored on Lanschool.

Nothing fancy about any of this. I have found that my kids just need someone to believe in them and to make math environments ‘not so uncomfortable’. Tim Stoudenmire
