Renaissance Star 360 Assessment
This is a diagnostic test that is utilized by our teachers and staff to help cater and tailor your educational experiences. This has previously been accomplished through the LEAP or Scantron testing but the Renaissance Star 360 is much more interactive and levels to accurately suit each individual. This has been called some different names by staff, so please know they are all the same thing: Renaissance, Star 360, R360, etc. This is not something that you are graded on, but it does help us know what and how you are learning best.
All students K-11 will take the Renaissance Star 360 three times throughout the school year. All Livelessons and assignments will be taken off the planner for that day, so we urge you to complete your R360 when scheduled.
