7.+Home+Connect

Home Connect is a way for parents to keep track of their children’s AR points and what quizzes they have taken. Teachers print out an informational letter (from the Renaissance/Accelerated Reader home page) that provides the parents with the web site address, login, and password. The login and password for each student is the same as what the child uses to log into the AR system at school. Once the parents log in to the web site, they have the option to sign up for email alerts. Every time their child takes a quiz, they will be emailed with the results. Also, the web site allows them to see the overall average, points, and how far they are from their goal. They can view a bookshelf that shows all the books their child has read/quizzed. Each book opens up to provide information on the book as well as how well the child scored. The following are teacher instructions for the Home Connect: Remember: The only action you have to do is to print out the Information Letter and send this home to the parents. The parents will need to go to the web site to register to receive the email alerts.
 * Accelerated Reader – Home Connect  **
 * Under // Renaissance Home Connect //, select // Reports //
 * On the Reports page, you can choose to print the Informational Letter (for parents) to print in English or Spanish.
 * A separate letter will print for each student in your class that gives the parents the information to log in to Renaissance Home Connect, including the web site address, the user name and password to use.
 * This letter is sent home to the parents so they can go to the web site and sign up for email alerts. These emails are sent to them each time their child takes an AR quiz that will include their child’s quiz results.
