AR is a school (and district) wide reading program.
It is utilized to encourage students to read and build their love of reading.
In Kindergarten, most of the time, parents will be reading to their children.
As students learn to read they will share in the reading experience.
The child will then come to school and take a computer generated test based on their book.
Every test they take gives them the opportunity to earn points towards their goal for the quarter.
Students who meet their goal each quarter have the opportunity to participate in a celebration of their efforts at the end of the quarter.
Students who do not meet their goal will share in reading with a teacher.
The deadline to meet the goal will be two days before the end of each quarter.
Each quarter every child will start fresh with a new goal to attain for that quarter.
At the end of the year, students earning 50 or more points will earn a trophy for their hard-work all year.
Parents and Students:
If you want to access Ren Place from home, here is how to do it!
From home, parents should be able to access Launchpad, and thus AR links to check books read, AR scores, etc., by going through Launchpad.leeschools.net.
They will enter the student’s SSO, and then click the Renaissance Home Connect icon for information. Joe advised that the Home Connect letter that we have sent home in the past has an incorrect link to Ren Place, and should not be sent home (unless you want to attach something with the correct link (Launchpad.leeschools.net).
Thank you for your patience. We will continue to work through the glitches!
