Renaissance Home Connect
We are very excited to offer a new way to view your child's Accelerated Reader progress. Home Connect is a very user friendly site. From here you can view your child's record each trimester or the year in general. You can sign up to get an email with results from your child's AR tests taken at school. There is also a link to AR Book Finder which is another user friendly site you can use to search for quizzes. To log into home connect you will need your child's user name and password. A letter went home with report cards containing this information.

The Lovelace Book Award program has begun! Students in grades 3-8 are introduced to the nominated books and given the opportunity to read them, take AR tests, and complete a review form to earn a non-uniform coupon. On April 25th 2010 we will find out what books students across the state picked as the winning book for each division. To find out more information on the award please visit the Maud Hart Lovelace website.
Wrapping up the Lovelace book talks
In the next few weeks we will finish all of our book talks covering the books nominated for the Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award. I am happy to report there are many students reading the books. Many of the books have waiting lists. To speed up the process please feel free to use the public libraries to get the books even quicker than waiting for ours to be available. Students have until March 23rd to read at least 3 books to be eligible to vote for the award and attend the party.
Accelerated Reader Book Finder
Is a great website to use to search for AR books. It offers the ability to search by title, author, book level, interest level.
