Beanstack
NMES is so excited to launch our use of the reading tracker, Beanstack! Beanstack helps students keep track of the titles and minutes that they have read to create a personalized reading log. Students at NMES can log their minutes in one of 2 ways:
- Visit the media center website at http://education.fcps.org/nmes/mediacenter and click on the icon for Clever. After they log in using their FCPS computer username and password, they can click on Beanstack to enter their reading log.
- Download the Beanstack app from the Google Play or Apple stores to a phone or tablet. Once downloaded, students log in with their FCPS student ID number and birthdate to enter their reading log.
If you need assistance downloading or using the Beanstack website or app, please contact Mrs. Siderius at jennifer.siderius@fcps.org! She'll be happy to assist you as we begin using this app for reading contests and promotions this school year!
