Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school! What a great time to start using Study Island.

Study Island is a completely online standards mastery and test preparation program for grades 2-8 and High School.

All of Study Island's grade-level specific topics, lessons, and questions are built from the MI Standards - GLCEs and HSCEs. Our variety of learning modes and blue ribbons of achievement engage and motivate students. As students move through the self-paced, automatically-remediating program, teachers, parents, and administrators can view diagnostic reports that show exactly how well each student has mastered the learning standards BEFORE the big tests.

Teachers use this valuable information to set the appropriate academic difficulty level and create specific assignments to meet any student's needs, putting them on the fast track to improvement and success!

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
