Issue:

• Students see a pop-up blocking message when starting to work on lessons in English in a Flash. The complete message is Please see your teacher. If the quiz did not load correctly, this computer may have popup blocking software. You can adjust your blocker to allow this site, or click the start button below. When the student clicks on the [Start] button, the button might disappear, or the lesson may start.

Reason:

Pop-up blocking software may be preventing your Renaissance application from functioning as designed.

Resolution:

If students are seeing the message when trying to work on MathFacts in a Flash in Home Connect, they will need to click the [Start] button.
