ALEKS Math Subscription Discount for VV Students Third Grade and Up – Deadline is Today

/in , , , , /by

We will be lucky enough to again offer discounted ALEKS Math subscriptions for at-home, independent study use only, for our VV families grades 3 and up. Since the extended-length, 46 week subscriptions, which allowed students to continue using ALEKS throughout Summer Break, worked well, we shall stick with that subscription duration.

This program is entirely optional, not endorsed by Vista Verde, but made available due to continued parent requests. Please see the attached, fill-in-able order form for more information.

There will be a strict order deadline of FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2018. No orders will be accepted after that date. Orders need to be turned into to the VV Front Office, NOT to the child’s teacher, Friday folder, Homework folder, etc. For more information, please contact valerieschiano@iusd.org.
