End-of-Year Reports

Before wrapping up the school year, make sure to generate and save your key reports – these will no longer be available once your school year has closed.

Student Progress Monitoring Report

Track intervention progress for each student. This report is invaluable for teachers continuing with the same intervention groups next year or for sharing with colleagues who will be supporting these students in the new academic year.

Screening Report

This report can’t be generated after the school year ends. We recommend saving a copy for all screening periods before the close of term so you can continue to reference and compare your data.

Annual Progress Report

See how each student has progressed across the year, measured against a national norm reference or end-of-year target.

FAQs

How do I download my reports?

All reports can downloaded into PDFs by selecting the ‘PDF’ at the top of your report page. Several reports allow for data to be exported from the report into comma-separated value (CSV) or Microsoft Excel (XLS) files by using the ‘Download Data’ button.

Which reports won’t transfer over to the new school year?

The Student Progress Monitoring Report, Screening Report, and Annual Progress Report cannot be generated once your school year has ended. It is suggested that you download these reports if you wish to keep this data.

How can I set up my school year?

Your school year, as well as your marking periods, can be found in your School Calendar through the Manage Apps & Users page. You’ll need to input these dates in before starting your import for next school year.

Where can I find my students usernames?

You can always use your import file to review your student usernames. Otherwise, from your homepage > Manage Apps & Users > Users > Use the dropdown and select Class > type your class name in > Select Search

You can copy the list and paste in an Excel spreadsheet where the formatting will still be present.

How do I request my forgotten password?

If you’ve forgotten your password, you can utilise the ‘Forgot Password?’ option on the login page where you’ll enter your email address and receive a link to reset your password. You may also ask your Renaissance site administrator to change your password. If there is still trouble acquiring your forgotten password, please contact our Customer Support Team at [email protected] or 02 4225 9698 and we’ll help you.

What is whitelisting?

Your school may have a firewall, proxy server, or content filtering software that could prevent access to resources that are used by your Renaissance web-based software. To be sure the software functions as designed, you should add the list of domains below to the allowlist within your firewall, proxy, or content filtering software. Be sure to allow inbound and outbound http and https communication. You can read more here.

How can I find or reset student passwords?

Passwords are not displayed in the system due to local privacy requirements. If the school does not remember the initial passwords imported into the system, you can reset them either for individual students or in bulk by going to Homepage > Manage Apps & Users > Users > Edit Multiple Students > Reset Passwords. You can find more detailed instructions here

Do I need to create accounts for new students separately?

No, you do not need to create accounts separately. When preparing the data for import, simply include all students who need to use the system. During the import process, you will have the option to match your file with existing students. The system will update information for existing accounts and give you the option to create accounts for any new students.

What is marking periods?

Marking periods allow schools to divide the school year into smaller intervals, such as terms or semesters. When creating targets, schools can set goals for each marking period rather than just one large yearly target. You can find more information here

SSO?

We now support SSO for Google and Microsoft Accounts, before we enable this feature, we do require all relevant users to have their Microsoft or Google emails linked to their Renaissance accounts. For additional support with setting up Microsoft SSO, please visit this page. For help with setting up Google SSO, please visit here. For step-by-step support from our AU team, let us know via email at [email protected]

Rostering FAQs

My CSV is stuck/uploading with errors?

Typically, if a roster is stuck uploading or returning with errors, it means your data might not be in the correct format. Before asking for assistance from our support team, we recommend first checking your tips and tricks PDF to see if your data is in the required format. To download your tips and tricks PDF, from your Renaissance Homepage, click your account button up the top right (Circle with your initials) > Manage Apps & Users > Upload your Roster > Requirements and Tips (PDF). If that PDF didn’t seem to have your answer, let us know at [email protected]

What are the most common errors schools make when uploading their class lists?

Schools might have the incorrect format for their student birthdays. The required format is AU dd/mm/yyyy (e.g. 01.01.2025), sometimes we see schools using the d/mm/yyyy format (1/01/2025) which may not be recognised. To quickly change format, highlight your birthdays in excel, and press control 1 to select the dd/mm/yyyy format.

What information is actually required to create a student account?

For a student account to be created, we will need the students first name, last name, year, birthday, username and password, course and class. Teacher data is not required on the CSV, as they can be assigned their classes later if they already have existing accounts. Birthdays are required because we use this to compare students of the same age nationally, as such, day and month can be generic as long as their birth year is accurate.

My student accounts have been created, but they get a frowny face error asking for their teacher when they login?

This typically occurs when the student hasn’t been assigned to a class or when their class doesn’t have any products assigned to it.

To assign a student to a class:

From your Renaissance Homepage, click your account button in the top right (circle with your initials) > Select Manage Apps & Users > Users > Search for the student by name or username > Click their name in blue to edit > Go to the Enrollments tab > Select Edit Class Enrollment > Choose this student’s teacher and class > Save

To assign products to your classes:

Go to Manage Apps & Users > Classes and Courses > Search for the class by class name (not course name) > Click the class name in blue to edit > Tick the boxes of the products this class needs for 2026 > Save down the bottom.
