A key tool we will use to drive this work is the use of benchmark assessments like i-Ready. These assessments give us the data we need to improve teaching and learning in every classroom and ensure all students are on the path to success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.719999\">As a district, we are committed to using data like i-Ready to improve outcomes for all learners. Together with families, teachers, and the community, we can ensure every Pawtucket student continues to grow and succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.719999\">Please take a moment to review the flier, available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, to learn more about i-Ready and how you can support your child at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18.719999\">Randy A.
