Using the Prerequisites Report to Inform Math Instruction
As you begin to finish up your Window 1 iReady diagnostic, navigate to the Math Prerequisites report. This report will help you understand students’ learning needs in relation to up-coming grade-level mathematics content, help you identify potential student groupings, and recommend resources to use with students.

Short Term Independent Study & Quarantine Changes
Legislation around independent study changed to only allow students 15-days cumulative per school year otherwise synchronous instruction would be required by the classroom teacher when a student is out. Due to this we are no longer using short term independent study when a student is quarantined for illness or a positive/close contact for COVID-19. However, per Ed Code, staff is still required to provide students with work while they are out on quarantine, if a parent/guardian requests it. Families may still utilize short term independent study for vacation, bereavement, etc. up to the 15-day maximum for the school year.
In addition, short-term independent study request forms are now only available digitally on our website and parents requesting independent study must submit forms electronically. All paper forms will no longer be used.

Technology Update
Lost or Stolen Chromebooks
If a family is reporting the Chromebook assigned to their student has been lost or stolen, the family must either provide a copy of a police report prior to being issued a new Chromebook identifying the Chromebook as stolen, or reimburse the District for the cost of the Chromebook. The approximate replacement cost for a Chromebook is $285 as outlined in the Annual Family Notice.
A police report is mandatory for the District to seek reimbursement through School Device Coverage (SDC) for both Middle School and Roseville Virtual Academy Chromebook. The following link can be used to submit a police report online: Roseville Police Department - Online Reporting.
End-of-Life Technology
With the deployment of nearly 8,000 chromebooks to refresh our existing student devices, the Information Systems Technician team will be coordinating with site clerical and administration in the upcoming weeks to E-waste any end-of-life student used technology (i.e. Chromebooks, Computers, etc.).
End-of-life technology is typically older than seven years, and considered “obsolete” by the manufacturer. Obsolete indicates the device is no longer able to receive software and/or hardware services from the manufacturer. End-of-life technologies will no longer be supported.
