Is my child allowed to go ahead on Study Island?

If you and your child are confident that they are familiar enough with the 
subject and can move on successfully without a mini lesson in the class than 
they may proceed.  Remember, students are trying to achieve a blue ribbon on 
each section of Study Island.

Are mechanical pencils acceptable?

No, mechanical pencils are made up of many small parts.  Students have a 
tendency to play with them and the parts get lost.  This causes a major 
distraction in the class.  Yellow #2 pencils are best.  They work well in 
the electric pencil sharpener.  Plastic coated pencils with pictures jam the 
electric and small hand held sharpeners.  This usually causes a disruption 
in the classroom.
