Albert Schweitzer Elementary School has acquired the Know Zone – an Internet-based learning environment to strengthen the connection between learning at school and at home. The Know Zone is a school/home software that is directly tied to the material your children learn in the classroom. It is a direct interactive link between classroom math, reading, and at-home study. The comprehensive scope of the Know Zone enables students, parents, and teachers to all work together to improve student math and reading skills. It is an invaluable tool for reviewing concepts, practicing for standardized tests, and playing stimulating and rewarding games. The Know Zone directly correlates to the Scott Foresman, Silver Burdett Ginn and Prentice Hall math textbooks and the Scott Foresman reading textbooks the students use every day.

    The Know Zone is accessed by visiting www.kz.com on the Web. Here, a password given to your child allows you to enter the ParentZone, where you can see how he or she is progressing and even brush up on your skills to be of greater help. Take maximum advantage of this opportunity to help your child learn more and experience greater success with math and reading.
