Our school has subscribed to the Dreambox math program for the remainder of this school year. Students are encouraged to use this website (not more than twenty minutes a night) a few nights a week to help build math understanding and fluency. Students were given their own username and password for this program. Their username is their first name and last initial, no spaces. Their password is a picture. Students have been introduced to Dreambox in class.

It is very important that students are working independently, the program will cater the activities to the appropriate skill level.

The link to use the Dreambox website is:
