CNE mathematicians were the Moment of Excellence at the March 15th school board meeting. Fifty-three third, fourth, and fifth grade students were recognized for their hard work in the ALEKS program this school year. All fifty-three students have successfully completed their grade level work in math and are working at least one year ahead on math standards. All students have the potential and opportunity to work at an advanced level, but not all students put forth the effort to do so.
Congratulations to the following students who are math super stars!
Third Grade
John Fishback, Savannah Berry, Parker Metz, Branch Carter, Eli Landrum, Macey Miles
Fourth Grade
Caleb Buchanan, Will Burdsall, Bryson Carpenter, Avarie Dixon, Eden Fraunfelter, Sophia Frey, Louella Gilkison, Reed Gilkison, Greg Hehemann, Mel Kaiser, Warren Kirk, Brayden Knight, Alayna Kuhn, Ella Krug, William Lung, Ronan McKenzie, Kaydence Neal, Ethan O’Keefe, Brynley Rose, Maddie Schaefer, Connor Shaw, Eddie Stitzel, Emma Sullivan, Logan Wendling, Clyde Wilson, Gunnar Wolf, Silas Cunningham, Elizabeth Dorsey, Gage Kirby, Micah Shaw, Cooper Kirk, Max Shepherd

What is ALEKS?
ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system for grades 3–12. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what topics a student knows and doesn’t know in a course. ALEKS then instructs each student on the topics they are most ready to learn.
ALEKS is purposefully designed to help educators:
Identify instructional gaps.
Personalize learning paths
Track the progress of student learning and mastery
As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student’s knowledge to ensure that topics learned are also retained. It’s an approach that has proven to create math confidence and measurable success for over 20 years.
