Student Online Achievement Resources
SoarAtHome.org has undergone some updates! Parents now have access, through SOAR, to more resources about school districts that serve military installations along with transition and installation websites. Log in to the SOAR website, then click Choose Your State from the left navigational pane. Select a State and a page will display links for this particular State. Scroll Down and click on a particular Military Installation Link. Also, take a moment to check out the new menu on Educational Resources. You will find the same great resources, with easier ways to navigate through them. Free SAT/ACT Prep from The Princeton Review ------------------------------------------------------- The Princeton Review is one of the nation's leading providers of SAT/ACT test preparation. As a SOAR partner, the company has agreed to donate 25 licenses for their on-line self-directed test prep course. This course normally costs $400! Any 10th or 11th grader who is registered in SOAR before February 6, 2008 will be eligible to win one of these licenses. Make sure you have registered your high school students in SOAR and tell your friends about this great opportunity. Did You Know? ----------------- If you and your student need more resources, click Skill Resources in the left navigational pane on the student homepage. Here you can search for tutorials, resources and quizzes. COMING SOON: ------------------- The University of Northern Iowa partners with SOAR to develop on-line videos for parents and students on math and literacy topics. This work is still under construction but you can preview what the videos will look like by going to SOAR Learning Video in the left navigation of the parent home page under Educational Resources. BEST PRACTICES: In future newsletters, we would like to share your experiences and feedback with SOAR whether you are a parent, school administrator or representative from a military installation. Please email how you have used SOAR or spread the word to parents about the program to info@soarathome.org and share your insights with users all over the world.
