Study Island and the parent/school connection

Every educator knows that the more a parent is involved in their child’s education, the better off the child’s education will be. While we can’t legislate parental involvement outside of school, we can create more entry points for parental access to student activities and progress. Study Island is one such entry point which is revolutionizing the parent-school connection at thousands of schools across the country. Not only is Study Island the only learning tool of its kind completely written to the Michigan Standards (GLCEs), its design allows easy access for student learning and parent involvement from home. www.studyisland.com

From the internet:
Fully web-based, access to activities and lessons from any internet connection
Easy graphics to view student progress level
Online parent reports
Auto-email report feature

On paper:
Send-home “blue ribbon” certificates
Printable worksheets
Printable parent reports

Study Island makes it easy for a parent and child to get help, practice, talk about progress--both good news and bad, and share in the joy of learning together.
