Parent's Ultimate Guide to Google Classroom
Lots of us are scrambling to get our students set up for remote learning. And for many, that means Google Classroom. This free-to-schools platform is super popular and highly rated. But if your kid needs to use it for school, it's a good idea to take a look at its features so you can help your students use it safely.
Distance Learning Resources for School Closure

Students are encouraged to read loads of books, take and pass AR quizzes with no less than 80% accuracy. Research tells us that when a reader passes an AR quiz with 80% or more accuracy, they really understood what they read. The program can be accessed by logging into mybackpack.apsk12.org. The student can log in using their network ID and their lunch number. Click on the Renaissance thumbnail. Let's Read and Take AR Quizzes!
Need to find out if a book is on AR?
2. Once there, click on student, or parent
3. In "Quick Search," type the title of the book
4. If the book is indeed an AR title, information about the book will appear, if it is not an AR title, it will say, "No AR Quiz"
