Renaissance Home Connect
Renaissance Home Connect!
Renaissance Home Connect is a fun way for parents to keep track of their child's progress in Accelerated Reader and Accelerated Math.
Students will be bringing home a letter that explains how to access Renaissance Home Connect. The letter will also provide parents with their child's user name and password. So... hang on to that letter! Parents will also be able to receive emails when students take AR tests or have Accelerated Math assignments scored.

Box Tops For Education
This year Coach Goff will be collecting Box Tops For Education. Box Tops can be found on a variety of items. Each box top collected is worth 10 cents. Coach Goff will use the money raised to purchase items for our school.
Our classes will be competing by grade levels to see which class collects the most Box Top. The top class per grade level will win a pizza party! Teachers for the top classes will also earn a little something special!
So start sending those Box Tops to school with your child!
