AR UpdateI’m sure you have wondered why your child has been bringing home the same AR book each night. Regretfully, our computer server has crashed, which means we have no way of running our programs. Students have been unable to take quizzes on their books.
You can help by completing your magazine booklets! We are using the money raised from this program to purchase Renaissance Place. Renaissance Place will allow us to access our programs through an Internet connection and not have to rely on an in-house server to run them. If you haven’t already, please complete you address booklets and return to school as soon as possible.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the chili supper and test talk last week! If you were unable to come to receive a study guide for your child, you may obtain one by clicking the link on our school's website.www.walkerschools.org/ge
