No Phones at Home

District 88 is launching No Phones at Home, a campaign designed to help families build strong learning habits and reinforce skills beyond the classroom.   Through this initiative, families are encouraged to dedicate 30 focused minutes a day to learning on i-Ready — 15 minutes in Math and 15 in Reading — five days a week.

Research shows that students who complete about 30–49 minutes per week in each subject and pass lessons with a 70% or higher success rate demonstrate the most growth — often visible by the winter diagnostic in December.

How to Access i-Ready at Home

Students can log in on their district Chromebook through ClassLink using their school credentials. Once signed in, simply click the i-Ready icon to begin learning.

How Families Can Help

Supporting your child’s learning doesn’t have to be complicated — small routines make a big difference!

• Set a consistent 30-minute learning time each day.

• Keep phones and distractions away during learning time.

• Encourage focus — remind them to “think before clicking.”

• Check your child’s i-Ready progress weekly.

• Celebrate effort and growth — big or small!

Why It Matters

When families and schools partner together, learning extends beyond the classroom. By setting routines, removing distractions, and celebrating effort, we help students build confidence, strengthen literacy, and turn vision into reality.

Together, we’re shaping lifelong learners — one focused minute at a time.
