• Istation is the reading and math app that we use at school. Istation information is coming home on Thursday with the homework packet. It will allow your child to work on Istation READING AND MATH at home. It will also help you become familiar with the program so you can better support your child's reading and math skills. Please let me know if you run into any glitches installing it on your device (desktop, laptop, Chromebook, or tablet). I would love to get some feedback from you about it.
