In order to log in to the site you will need to have your student's AR username and password. Once inside, check out the option for parents to receive an email each time their child takes an AR. Look for "email setup" at the right-hand upper corner.
Look to see if YOUR book has AR!

We thank and commend our great PTA who gives strong support to our library! They enable us to do so many things!
1.) They renewed AR when the school system dropped it in the other schools.
2.) They purchased a subscription to Worldbookonline.com for our school community.
This allows our students and teachers to access authoritative information whether at home or at school.
3.) They came in and helped with our awesome book fair!
AND
4.) They gave a very generous allowance for books and other upgrades to our library.
Thank you so much, Everyone! Now let's take care of these great assets and put them to good use!
