RACE2 READ is the reading initiative and Beanstack is the computer program for logging in the minutes read. Atlanta Public Schools is raising the bar for reading via APS Race2Read: The 2 Million Minutes Challenge. This district-wide campaign encourages students, teachers, staff, parents and the entire Atlanta community to collectively read 2 million minutes. Beanstack is a web-based, mobile-friendly tool that we are using to track our independent reading during our 2 million minutes challenge. Reading may be logged at any time – in school or on the go.

APS is passing the baton, challenging you and your child to read every day. Each APS school has its own Beanstack site, where you can view individual school progress on achieving its schoolwide goal. Parents, find your child’s school site below or login via their Clever dashboard.https://apscascade.beanstack.org/reader365
