AR Bookfinder

We are using the Renaissance Place Enterprise system at MES this year.  This is a hosted subscription service for our students, teachers and parents.  Students now have access to all of the AR tests that are available (118,000+)

The Home Connect piece allows parents, students and teachers to share in the educational experience by viewing progress in AR and Math Facts in a Flash while outside of school.  Students login here the same way they do at school.  There is an e-mail setup to have reports e-mailed to parents on demand as well as a help section.  Contact your child's teacher or Mrs. Grandgeorge if you have questions.
