Go to Apps Store

Enter “Renaissance Learning” in the search box.

Choose the STAR app for download



To make the teacher’s iPad accessible to the students:
Open the STAR App

\Select “Connect to Renaissance Place”

Enter “MVCS-13YR” in the box that says “Renaissance Place URL”

Select “Join” where the “Enter” key usually is on your keyboard
Select “Share my settings”
The next screen says: “Now sharing your settings as: Your first name’s iPad”

For students to connect to the teacher’s iPad:
Students open their STAR Apps
Select “Connect to Renaissance Place”
Enter “MVCS-13YR” in the box that says “Renaissance Place URL”
Select “Join” where the “return” key usually is on the keyboard
Select “Find Settings”
The next screen says: “Choose settings from:” – students should select your name
Select “Done”

For students to log in to take the STAR Assessment:
Student enters username and password for access
Username: first initial of first name and the first four letters of last name.
If they are a resident student with an American name, they are to use their birth name.
If there are less than four letters in their last name, it will be their entire last name.
Password: password

Once the student is logged in, they should see their name in the gray bar at the top of the screen
If the wrong student name appears, it may mean the student mistyped or shares a similar login name with another student. Have student try again by logging out, retyping user name or having student use same user name with the number “1” at the end. Example – Mustang1 instead of Mustang.

Once student gains access, Reading or Math test can be selected.
**Note: Students may be randomly logged off during testing. Have them log in again and the test should pick up where the student left off.
When the test is completed, students should log-out.
When testing is complete, select “Settings” to stop sharing your iPad.
