SUMMER READING LOGS are due to
Mrs. Ginn by
Friday, August 26th in order to qualify for the "No Summer-Slide Challenge" SUMMER READING REWARD! You may send in the originals (which I can return), or a photocopy is fine (it just has to have the book log and public librarian
signature included).
If your child read their books in MyOn and/or from books at home and took AR quizzes, I have those reports and am checking them now to see who qualifies. I will be sending SPECIAL INVITATION LETTERS home in September to the students who met the challenge!

Our AES BOOK-A-PALOOZA BOOK FAIR was awesome... 
 THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!
Our book fair next year will be
​February 27th through March 3rd!

AR QUIZZING AT HOME IS only allowed at school during regular school hours!

Need to look up AR information for a book  you have at home?  You can use
AR BookFinder to the right!
Parents... would you like to receive an email each time your child takes an AR quiz? 
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.
