We are ready!! Students in Kindergarten through 6th grade will be taking their i-Ready assessments beginning this week! The i-Ready Diagnostic is a computer adaptive achievement assessment that determines how to best support your child’s learning. i-Ready dynamically adapts to a student’s responses. As your child works through the questions, three consecutive correct answers will result in more difficult questions, while three incorrect answers will result in easier questions. i-Ready creates a unique, research-based lesson plan for each child, tailored to their individual performance on the i-Ready Diagnostic test. This gives the teachers the ability to modify the sequences of lessons or add new ones based on their understanding of their students’ needs. Please make sure your child arrives on time every day, but most importantly on testing days! (These are the testing dates for eStem Downtown K-6. You may check with your school for specific testing dates for your child.)

At DTJH, students in Ms. Racher's class were predicting if the mass of the steel wool would increase, decrease, or stay the same when it was burned. After burning it, they found that the mass increased, contrary to the students' prediction. They used the phenomenon to guide their learning on basic Chemistry. While this is happening at DTJH, we have exciting activities happening on all of our campuses. Remember to check our Events Calendar on our website for details specific to your child's school.

It has been a Fantastic first 4 days of the 24-25 school year at eStem East Village Elementary! Our students have been listening, learning, having fun and making new friends! #backtoschool #estemeastvillageelementary #estempcs

Good afternoon Downtown Junior High Families, We are excited and busy preparing for the first day of school! Unfortunately, an unexpected obstacle has impacted some of our back-to-school activities.

We are working around the clock to replace it and repair all components to ensure our building is safe and ready for school next week!
