Compass Learning/Edgenuity is a website for children to learn and practice reading, writing, math, science, and much more. Every time your child completes a stage or lesson it is counted on your progress. Your progress shows what lessons and quizzes you have done.

There has been a recent change in how we access one of our district programs, Compass Learning/Odyssey/Edgenuity. Below you find directions on how your child can log into the system from home to practice various content. Students can log in to Clever on its website or from the Aspen homepage.

Each student will have a Clever Dashboard with the programs they can access from Clever. When they click on an icon a new tab will open and log into that program.

Test items are multiple-choice and constructed response and will provide both the school and parent with important information about the strengths and weaknesses of students in core academic areas. The tests are based on the required state curriculum and are designed to measure the knowledge and skills taught and learned in Georgia classrooms.

• 3rd Graders are tested in ELA and Math
• 4th Graders are tested in ELA and Math
• 5th Graders are tested in ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies

Milestones Achievement Levels

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System utilizes four achievement levels. to describe student mastery and command of the knowledge and skills outlined in Georgia’s content standards. Most students have at least some knowledge of the content described in the content standards; however, achievement levels succinctly describe how much mastery a student has. Achievement levels give meaning and context to scale scores by describing the knowledge and skills students must demonstrate to achieve each level.

The four achievement levels on Georgia Milestones are:

• Beginning Learner
• Developing Learner
• Proficient Learner
• Distinguished Learner

Your Child has a Library PASS!

Students can now check out books and access digital educational resources 24/7 at the Cobb County Public Library with their Library PASS, a virtual library card. Great for homework help and for finding books to read!

Your student’s Library PASS number is the same as their student/lunch number at school, and their PIN is the 4 digits of their birth month and day (MMDD). For example, if your student's birthday is February 4th, their PIN would be 0204.

For more information, visit your local public library or Library PASS webpage.
