What is LinkIt!?
LinkIt! is a data and assessment platform used by our school district to support teaching and learning. It helps educators better understand each student’s academic strengths and areas for growth so they can provide targeted instruction and support.

What Does This Mean for Parents?
- You may hear your child talk about "LinkIt! tests" or see results shared at parent-teacher conferences.
- These assessments are tools to help us better support your child – not high-stakes tests.
- The data helps us tailor learning to give your child the best chance to succeed.
