Dear Parents,

I am thrilled to share our NEW Renaissance Learning myON program is up and running and live for our students to use throughout the summer.    

Every Cold Spring student can now access over 3,000 online books and news articles to read throughout the summer.  The best part is that every book your child chooses from his/her library is at his/her reading level.  Research shows that in order for students to make growth in their reading they must be reading 20-30 minutes a day within their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).  Every Cold Spring student has taken a reading assessment (STAR Reading) this month to ensure every book he/she reads is within their ZPD.  

I am encouraging every student to read at least 20-minutes every day over the summer. The Renaissance Learning myON program is a great way for your child to choose from a wide variety of interest books at his/her level and take an embedded comprehension assessment to follow.  

The  Renaissance Learning myON program can be accessed through the following URL:  https://global-zone05.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/711719   

The student’s username is the first letter of their name followed by their last name (Example:  jalzina).   The student’s password is their first name (Example:  jack).

Thank you for supporting your child’s love of reading over the summer!

My Best
Dr. Alzina
