How to Register:

1. From the Read-a-thon Website, click "Participant Center"
2. Click "Register" at the top or scroll to the "Student Registrations" section, select the number of students you plan to register, and click "Add to Cart".
3. Go to the cart and click "Check out now". Please note, registration is free! But you do need to go through the "check out" process to finalize your registration.
4. Fill in your student's information. PLEASE NOTE: Everyone MUST select their class in order for their minutes read to count towards the class prizes, even though it says "Optional". Also, setting a fundraising goal is not required but will be super helpful for any potential supporters to understand how much they are pledging. 
5. Click NEXT. You may be prompted to create a log-in if you don't already have a Rally Up account. After this, you'll be able to review your registration. When you're happy with the info, please press "SUBMIT". 
6. Now, your student is fully registered, and you can customize their fundraising page, as much or as little as you'd like! But most importantly, you can share with friends and family to kick off the fundraising. Please note that when you share the link to your child's fundraising page via "My Account", you'll automatically see a draft email to send out with it. If you'd rather just copy the link to your child's fundraising page, you are also welcome to use the following template or create your own.
