Renzulli Learning and Explorations

Our class has now been registered to use Renzulli.  Renzulli is a system that has selected hundreds of enrichment activities and other resources specifically geared to your child's interests. In order to find activities that meet your child's interests, you will need to update your child's profile by logging in through the student tab at: http://www.renzullilearning.com/ .  After you sign in, click on "Profile" and help your child answer a series of questions.  Once all the questions have been answered your child will be able to access activities geared to his/her interests!  Check your email for your child's username and password.
