Mrs. Nelson
I am so excited to be your 7th grade STAR math
teacher this year! This is my 9th year at OHVA and 3nd
year teaching STAR. I love math and try to instill that
love in my students.
I live in Geauga County (NE Ohio) with my husband
and spoiled yellow lab, Woodstock. We have three
grown sons—our oldest is married and works for a
company in Indianapolis; our middle son just got
married in May and is an Athletic Trainer for
Houghton College in New York; our youngest got
married in Jan. and is a mechanical engineer for
Bridgestone Corporation in Akron.
I love spending time with my family, taking
walks with my dog, swimming, biking, reading,
& traveling.

Study Island
 Study Island is NOT optional! It is used as a
reinforcement tool of concepts learned in the
K12 curriculum and helps prepare for PARCC testing.
 Students are to complete their SI Pathway
assignments each week with the goal of earning Blue
Ribbons (at least 10 questions with 70% mastery). If a
Blue Ribbon is not earned, students will be required to
attend a SI review session on that concept.
 Students are expected to earn Blue Ribbons in ALL
Study Island Pathway assignments in Math, Reading
& Science by the end of March.
SI Benchmarks
SI Benchmarks are short assessments
taken as indicators of how students are
progressing on the grade 7 Common Core
Indicators.
These will be taken two times throughout the
year: weeks of November 10th &
February 2nd
Scantron
• Scantron tests are taken twice a year in
Reading and Math.
• First tests completed in Fall (by end of
first week of school) and second
completed in Spring (May 4-8).
• This is an adaptive test that shows a
measure of a student’s growth over the
school year.
PARCC
ASSESSMENTS
 All students must take these state
mandated tests for their grade level.
 Grade 7 takes Reading & Math
 PARCC Assessments will be given in
April (13-30?)– more info to come
 Failure to take these tests will lead
to a dismissal from OHVA the
following year. Emergency situations
will be considered individually.
