A weekly report in your inbox every Friday

Every Friday at 5 PM Central, you get one email with a section for each child:

Days practiced, lessons finished, and time spent learning
Each skill with its mastery level
How much they did on their own and how much help they used
Quiz scores, the standards they practiced, and what to do next

Add up to 2 more emails, like a co-parent or grandparent.

Track each child on their own

One account works for the whole family. In the Parent Center, tap a child’s name to see their grade, courses, time spent, and progress. Kids only see their fun nickname. First names are just for you.

Parent Center Progress tab for Ava, Grade 3: lessons, independent mastery, streak, and a 14-day time chart — Ava · Grade 3

Parent Center Progress tab for Zoe, Grade 1, with her own courses and time chart — Zoe · Grade 1

Your children list showing Ava (Sparkle Star), Grade 3, and Zoe (Sunny Petal), Grade 1 — Add, edit, or remove children anytime. Two children are included in every plan.

Know exactly where they stand

Every skill has a level: Masters, Meets, Approaches, or Not Yet Met. You can see what your child did on her own and what she did with a hint.

GC Academy also recommends next steps. That might be more practice on a tricky skill, the next lesson, or a challenge once she has mastered a skill.

Levels are based on practice in GC Academy. They are not STAAR scores.

Mastery by skill with levels, independent and supported results, and a bar showing how much help was used — Mastery by skill and help used

Recommended next steps: more practice, next lessons, and Ready for More — Recommended next steps

Standards tab listing TEKS and Common Core standards practiced, each with a level — TEKS and Common Core standards practiced

A full progress report you can print

Print a full report any time, or bring it to a parent-teacher conference. It shows:

Units and lessons finished
Mastery for each skill
Every standard practiced
Quiz scores and next steps

Each June, you also get a Year-End Progress Report for each child to keep.

What your child sees

Each child taps her own nickname, then picks up right where she left off. Every lesson follows the same 10 short steps, from Get Ready to Next Step. When she gets stuck, help comes in three levels: a Nudge, a Strategy, then Guided Help.

Who's learning? screen with two nickname cards: Sparkle Star, Grade 3, and Sunny Petal, Grade 1 — “Who’s learning?” Each child taps her nickname.

Learner dashboard with points, streak, continue learning, course progress, and lessons picked for her — Her dashboard

A lesson on the See It step, with the 10 lesson steps across the top and a worked example — 10 short steps in every lesson

A practice question with a Nudge hint and buttons to read it aloud, get more help, or show a picture — Hints when she needs them

Printable graphic organizers and checklists

The Writer’s Toolbox has organizers, checklists, and memory-trick sheets. They print on regular letter paper for pencil-and-paper practice at home.
