HEY TEACHERS! Are you offering summer tutoring for kids in your area? Post your subjects and grade levels in the comments along with your hometown. Let’s create a resource list for parents seeking tutors for their kids!
By now, you’ve likely read your child’s OSTP results. You have the scores, and you know, generally, how your child did on the test.
So what’s next?
With May’s chaos now in the rear view mirror, it can be tempting to slide into summer nice and slow. Parents and kids should certainly enjoy the lazy days of summer. But smart parents know that maintaining even the steady, seemingly nonproductive pace of a snail is still progress when it comes to academic endeavors.
When the American Revolution broke out in 1775, the colonists weren’t fighting united under a single flag. Instead, most regiments participating in the war for independence against the British fought under their own flags. In June of 1775, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to create the Continental Army—a unified colonial fighting force—with the hopes of more organized battle against its colonial oppressors. This led to the creation of what was, essentially, the first “American” flag, the Continental Colors.
For some, this flag, which was comprised of 13 red and white alternating stripes and a Union Jack in the corner, was too similar to that of the British. George Washington soon realized that flying a flag that was even remotely close to the British flag was not a great confidence-builder for the revolutionary effort, so he turned his efforts towards creating a new symbol of freedom for the soon-to-be fledgling nation.
On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress took a break from writing the Articles of Confederation and passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”

Student success, not just soccer, depends on goals
Soccer has been in the news lately, as the U.S. Women’s team won the World Cup. All the soccer talk has us thinking about goals, and the role they play in success on the field and in the classroom.
We Use Data to Empower Schools for Academic Success!
Teachers and administrators can quickly and easily identify students who need more help learning the Oklahoma Academic Standards.
Alpha Plus pinpoints the SPECIFIC OAS objectives or "gaps" students have from previous years, then helps school teams address each objective throughout the year.
That is why Alpha Plus schools have OUTPERFORMED the state average every year of the A-F Report Cards.
