Accelerated Reader Home Connect

We now have Renaissance Enterprise available at our school which means that students have access to ALL Accelerated Reader tests that are currently available from the company renlearn.  To see if there is a test available log on to Home Connect (https://global-sone53.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/87475 )

 or click on the picture of the computer above.  Log in with your child's username and password (We sent this home in a letter, but if you have forgotten it is the same username and password that your child uses to login to take a test at school.).  Go to BOOKFINDER.  Type in the name of the book and it will show the information if we have that quiz available.   This is also where you can log on to see your child's percent correct (Our goal is to be above 85%), AR points, and book level.  You can view what quizzes your child has already taken by looking at his/her bookshelf.  You can also sign up for email alerts that will notify you when your child takes a AR test and what they make on that AR test.

 Big Universe
