Parent Portal
• Parent Single Login– Allows parents to log in once and view all their
children’s work assignments and progress– Parents can be kept up to date with
their child’s progress– Parents create their own user name and
password– Continuous communication between school
and home

STEM Resources(Science, Technology, Engineering, &Mathematics)
Faucet Flow Rate • Students conduct experiments to
determine the flow rate of faucets by timing how long it takes to fill gallon jugs. They do this for three different faucet flow levels (quarter blast, half blast, full blast), averaging three trials for each level.
• Standards:– CCSS.Math.Content.8.SP.A.1– CCSS.Math.Content.8.SP.A.2– NCES.8.E.1.4
Marble Ride• In this STEM lesson plan
students design a roller coaster ride for a marble with the goal of having it travel as slow as possible.
• Standards:– CCSS.Math.Content.3.OA.D.8– NCES.3.P.1.1– NCES.3.P.1.3– NCES.5.P.1.1
Purchased Resources
Initial Content
• Science and Social Studies Assessment Items [9,600 items]
• Science and Social Studies [~10,000 resources]

Timeline
How will Home Base be rolled out?• Home Base will be available to districts without costs
for the 2013-14 school year.
• Home Base will be phased-in with many key functions available at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
• 2013-14 year will be a kick-off year; we expect it to take districts time to learn and apply the resources in Home Base
