HERE'S HOW TO SET UP AR HOME CONNECT
​(please redo this if you previously set it up prior to October 2019):
1. Log in to Renaissance Home Connect. To do this, go to
https://global-zone50.renaissance-go.com/studentprogress/homeconnect?t=78218
The username is your child’s 5-digit lunch #, and the password is your child’s legal first name (USING A CAPITAL LETTER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NAME).

2. Once you are logged in, select Get Email Updates on the right side of the page.
Follow the directions on the site from that point… you may add up to six email addresses for each child’s AR account.
