JMMS is a 21st Century, 6th - 8th grade middle school where we communicate, collaborate, create, and think critically inside and outside of our classroom. We use this webpage as an important tool in sharing our news, our work, and our accomplishments with the East Haven community and beyond.
JMMS MISSION STATEMENT

iReady at JMMS
What is i-Ready?
The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions. The purpose of this is not to give your student a score or grade, but instead to determine how best to support your student’s learning.
i-Ready Personalized Instruction provides students with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs, so your student can learn at a pace that is just right for them. These lessons are fun and interactive to keep your student engaged as they learn.
Each week, every student at JMMS is required to spend 45 minutes working on their iReady individual pathway for EACH subject area (math and reading).
For more information, and to learn how to view your child's progress, please watch this video.
Visit the iReady Family Center for more resources for supporting your student at home.
