The "i" in iblock stands for individual. iBlock is a 30 minute block that happens each day and is focused on the specific needs of individual students as determined by a combination of local assessments, teacher observation and student voice. Each iBlock session will last 6 weeks. iBlock groups will be taught by school-wide staff and will be small and focused. Examples of areas of focus for the first session include

- geography skills
- spelling
- multiplication fact fluency
- foreign language
If your student has needs outside of their assigned session 1 group, we will do our best to meet those needs during a different 6 week session.`
