🎉 Happy New Year from Buckhannon-Upshur Middle School! 🎉
As we step into 2026, one of our biggest resolutions is to help every student grow academically—and we need your partnership to make it happen!
This 2nd semester we’re focusing on quality iReady usage. iReady is a personalized reading and math coach designed to support your child’s learning journey. Here’s what we’re asking:
✅ 45 minutes per week in both Math and Reading
✅ At least 2 passed lessons in each subject every week
If your student finishes their lessons before reaching 45 minutes, they must keep working and passing lessons until they have completed their required minutes. Every extra minute counts toward building stronger skills!
When should students complete iReady?
Students should complete their iReady lessons during homeroom time.
If they do not finish during homeroom, it becomes homework to complete at home.
Important Update:
Students completed their Middle-of-Year Diagnostic in December. These results will be sent home with report cards on January 9th, 2026. Please review these results with your child—they are a great way to see progress and set goals for the rest of the year!
How can families help?
Talk with your student daily about their iReady progress.
Celebrate their successes—every passed lesson is a win!

Together, we can make this a year of growth and achievement for every student. Thank you for being an essential part of our school community! 💙
We can't wait to see your student again on January 5th, 2026!
