Nature Trail Renovation

Renaissance Home Connect
Renaissance Home Connect keeps you up to date with your child's Accelerated Reader goals and progress. Because our school stongly believes in the positive effect of home/school communications, we have subscribed to an enhanced version of Accelerated Reader called Renaissance Place. By using the Renaissance Home Connect feature, you can view your child's latest AR quiz results, goals and even sign up to get e-mail notices when your child has taken an AR quiz. Accelerated Reader is primarily a challenge program to encourage kids to read what they like and to earn points for reading. Make it a priority to have nightly reading at home.
Once school starts you will get an informational letter with your child's password.
To search for books at your child's reading level try using the Accelerated Reader Book Finder at www.arbookfind.com At Marion Elementary, your child has access to over 125,000 AR quizzes.
ATTENDANCE
IS
IMPORTANT!
|
Here are some things you can do to ensure that your child is prepared and that he/she wants to come to school:
- Let your child know that going to school is important - a good education lays the foundation for a good life.
- Set a regular homework time to ensure that your child is prepared each day.
- Show interest in your child's work.
- Make sure your child gets enough sleep each night.
- Don't give in to vague complaints that your child doesn't feel well. Speak positively abut the teacher and school activities.
- Contact the school immediately if you suspect your child is being bullied or harassed. Don't expect your child to handle it alone.
- Don't hesitate to ask for help. Share your concerns with your child's teacher - your child may need extra help.
