Amira: Your Child’s Personal Reading Tutor
Our students will begin using Amira soon. Please view the slideshow below to familiarize yourself with the program. Your child will be able to access Amira from the ItsLearning platform. Learning with Amira is like having a personal reading tutor inside your child's computer. Amira listens attentively and provides help to reinforce skills. Amira is powered by machine learning and will adapt stories to meet your child's needs as they improve. At the end of each story, Amira gives a progress update of how your child is doing so you can set goals and see growth. More information to come.

Turning In Assignments
Students should find their assignments under the "plans" tab on Itslearning. When turning in assignments, students should use the "plans" tab, find the assignment, click "answer assignment" tab at the bottom of the assignment, then click on the "more options" tab in the toolbox and choose the square icon with mountains to add a picture of their work. If your student is sharing pictures that we cannot see and is asked to resubmit, we suggest you download the ItsLearning app onto your phone and take pictures with that and then submit them to assignments. If your child submits an assignment before it was complete, just send us a message on ItsLearning and we can return the assignment to be resubmitted.
