As a first step to planning for your students’ academic year, we welcome your student(s) to take the diagnostic assessments in math and reading through i-Ready. The results of these assessments will help you and your advisor find curriculum and create learning plans that best support your students' unique abilities.
To access the i-Ready assessments:
- Go to https://login.i-ready.com/
- Enter Username: LastnameFirstname
Password: Frontier
State: Alaska
- Choose a diagnostic to start
The i-Ready assessments are adaptive, meaning they automatically adjust in difficulty to meet your child where he/she learns best. Students will see questions they can easily answer along with questions for topics they have not yet learned. It might be helpful to tell your student that they are not expected to know all of the answers. Each assessment typically takes students 60+ minutes to complete. Breaks are built into the diagnostic program, but you may choose to start and stop as often as you like or as your student needs. Thank you for partnering with us on this learning adventure!
Feel free to reach out if you have questions or need assistance! Happy Testing!

Calling all readers! Do you enjoy reading great books? Do you like trivia about books? Come join our Battle of the Books teams! We are offerings teams this year for grades K-8.
Each year, the Alaska State Librarians Association selects several terrific books for each grade level area.
Students do not have to read all the selected books. It is up to parental discretion.
Frontier students read the books and then meet on Zoom to talk about the books. Each week, the teams practice trivia questions about the books in preparation for the District Battle against other schools. Then in late January/early February, the students test their knowledge of the books in a face-to-face competition.
Please fill out the Google form below to connect your reader(s) with Frontier's Battle of the Books or to get more information.
UPDATE: Our 3rd and 4th grade team is full (yay!).
We still have space available in K-2nd (unlimited space), 5th-6th (2 spots only) and Middle School (4 spots available).
Happy Reading!!
