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.
