Grades 3-12 students and teachers in participating school districts are invited to participate in PAPER’s 12 Days of Paper Challenge beginning Dec. 5, to win a prize during the holiday season.
Through its partnership with the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE), PAPER continues to provide all students in grades 3-12 in participating school districts with free, 24/7 on-demand tutoring, in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.
Spotlight on December: 12 Days of Paper
Over the next 12 days, PAPER can help students in grades 3-12 strengthen their foundational skills and prepare for end-of-semester assessments. To kick things off, PAPER has launched an optional pre-assessment (ends Dec. 20), which is now live on PAPER’s student dashboards and available on the 12 Days of Paper activity calendars. This pre-assessment will help gauge where students are and identify potential areas for improvement. Whether reinforcing core concepts or providing targeted practice, these activities are designed to support students during this busy time of the year.
The MDE and PAPER encourage students and teachers to take advantage of a full list of activities throughout the month of December. Check out the Achieve 365 Website to access calendars for daily activities! Or, access them using the links below:
🎁 Student Prizes:
Students who complete the pre-assessment by Dec. 13, at 5 p.m. CT will be entered into a random drawing for a new Stanley cup. Up to six students may be selected each day. Be sure to have your students complete the pre-assessment before the deadline.
🎁 Teacher Prizes:
Each day of 12 Days of Paper, PAPER will be giving away $50 gift cards to six teachers every day. Entering is easy; teachers will need to fill out this Google form each day they use an activity. On Dec. 13, and Dec. 20, PAPER will randomly select winners from all entries submitted for each of the previous days. Each submission counts as a separate entry.
The MDE encourages participating districts to contact their PAPER Account Manager with any additional questions they may have or Dr. Marla Davis at mdavis@mdek12.org if you have any questions for the MDE.
