I asked if there was a way to "level up" in Lexia because my son is pretty bored with it. He's an older K student who is reading books and he's stuck identifying individual letters.

Lexia has an assessment at the beginning. Always. It does have a high pass mark for each activity (80-90%, I think, on each tested part of the level), so kids often end up on the level before the one they should "really" be on... but to be stuck on letters if he can read suggests there are either gaps in his knowledge or gaps in his ability to use the software properly. Also, my 3 year old has gone from Level 1 to Level 5 in about 8 hours (and I assume that's with having to remediate wrong answers given that he isn't totally fluent on CVCs, for instance), so it's super easy to go pretty quickly if you actually have mastery of the topic.

Yep. My kid started out below level on Lexia, but moved up really fast once she got the hang of the controls. I just told my kid to see how fast she could get through the easy stuff.

PP what are you so quick to CC the principal in an attempt to “get the teacher in trouble”?
FYI this is looked down upon by administrators and teachers alike. They get enough emails as is.

My first 2 emails were to her DCPS email. Then DH successfully got a response from her using the portal, so I emailed her 10 days ago using the portal.

I have waited a while to be annoyed because I know the past week has been absolutely bonkers for teachers. But 10 days seems like plenty to wait before sending a follow up.
