Each child will receive an AR point & percentage goal they must reach each nine weeks.  The goal is based on the individual’s reading level and reading at least 35 minutes a day.  (20 minutes at home and 15 minutes at school).  You will receive a contract at the beginning of each nine weeks that tells you about your child’s AR goal.

 

Check your child’s AR progress from home

 

Did you know you could access your student's Accelerated Reader (AR) reports online and even receive an email every time your student takes an AR test at school?

 

This is a wonderful tool and an easy way for parents to keep track of their student's AR points!

 

Here are the steps to begin receiving email updates and tracking points:

 

1. Go to http://www.conley.leon.k12.fl.us/technology_information.asp.  Go to “Online Software With At-Home Access”.  Click on “Renaissance Place Home Connect”.

 

2. Enter your student's AR user name and password.  Their username is their student number and the password is their first and last initial.  It is also the same username they use for Success Maker at school and it should be written in their planner as well.

 

3. Once you enter the site, you can see your student's progress toward making their AR goal on the easy to read bar graph, as well as, their overall percentage correct on the quizzes they have taken this nine weeks.  Students should be making 85% and above on the AR quizzes.  If they are not, they maybe taking quizzes before they have actually finished reading their book.  Signing up to receive email notification when your student takes a quiz at school should help curb this problem, if it has become one.

 

4. To sign up to receive email notification when your student takes a quiz, simply click on the "Email Set Up" link on the top right hand side of the screen and enter your email address.

 

5. Also, if you are unsure if a book your student would like to read is an AR book, click on the bottom right link, "Find Books" when you initially enter the site or you can also access the same information through the Conley school website under the Parent Portal. Once you enter the Parent Portal, click on "Web Links" and then click on "AR Book Finder", http://www.arbookfind.com/UserType.aspx
