Accelerated Reader Home Connect

Parents/Guardians:
Students at Hay Springs Public School use a software program called Accelerated Reader. This program has a special feature called “Home Connect”, which you and your student can access outside of school from any computer with an internet connection. Home Connect allows you to view information about your student’s progress. It also allows you to sign up to receive email notifications after your student completes an activity or assessment at school.

Log in to Home Connect Website by using this link:
https://global-zone51.renaissance-go.com/studentprogress/homeconnect?t=206729
(The user name and password are the same as your student uses to log into his/her AR account at school.)

A help video can be found at:

If you have questions about Home Connect, please call Mrs. Matthews at school in the afternoon.

Thank you,
Carole Matthews, School Librarian

PBIS Assembly

Hay Springs Public School students attended a PBIS assembly today at 10:15 AM.  At the assembly, students were asked to gather near the first letter of their names which were posted around the auditorium.  Students from Kindergarten through 12th grade were gathered in these groups and then asked to start conversations with other members of their group.  Next the students were asked to give high fives to the members of their group, and finally various activities were started which led members of the group outside of their group and into other groups.  After this community/culture building exercise, students who made the AB honor roll from each grade were recognized.  Following that, PBIS Super Passes were awarded for the 2nd Quarter to Ava McKillip, James Scherbarth, Hannah Hoos, Bailey Scherbarth, Joce Varvel, and RyLee Wolken.  The event concluded with the drawings for the Breakfast of Champions…there were 26 students drawn!  Congratulations to all Hay Springs students for an awesome 2nd quarter, let’s make the 3rd even better!
