Give Your Students A Math Boost This Summer With Dreambox

Press release from Portland Public Schools:

June 22, 2021

Dear K-8 Families,

"Greetings from your PPS STEAM Mathematics department. We want to share with you an awesome opportunity for your students to boost their growth in math during the summer. Portland Public Schools acquired the Dreambox Learning Platform to support continued mathematics learning through the impact of COVID-19, and we want you to know that you will be able to utilize it this summer.

Students who access and complete three to five lessons per week in Dreambox show, on average, one year of mathematics growth! The recommended time for students to spend on Dreambox is 15 to 20 minutes per day (as age appropriate), up to five days per week. Students can access Dreambox directly from their Chromebook using Clever, so you don’t have to worry about remembering a new username or password.

For parents and guardians, to learn more about Dreambox:

• Go to this Dreambox webpage to explore resources to support your students. You can also try out Dreambox for yourself with sample lessons at the bottom of the page, available in English and Spanish.
• Read Dreambox’s “6 Tips for Remote Learning” document, which is also available in Spanish.

We hope you are able to take advantage of this resource. Have a wonderful summer!"
