| Family Name
| Enter the name of your home school. This name is printed on top
of the reports.

| First Name
| Enter the name of the person who will be your
"adminstrator". This person will have the ability to view and enter
all the information about your family. You will be able to enter
more administrators later if you like. Typically one or both
parents will be entered as administrators.

| Last Name

| Login
| The ID you will use to log in to the system. We recommend you
use your email address as your Login ID. It is guaranteed to be unique,
so you don't have to go through a cycle of being told the ID you selected
is already in use and trying again. It also gives us a way to contact
you if we need to. While we have no desire to send you spam,
if it worries you, make up some other name.

| Password
| Make up a password. I'm sure you've heard all the warnings about
using a password that is easy to guess, etc.

| Turing question
| You are then asked a trivia question. There are automated programs --
"spambots" --
that search the Internet filling out forms in the hope that information
entered will be posted on a forum or blog. They then submit advertising
for dubious products. The idea of the trivia question is that it is
relatively easy for a human being to answer, but very difficult
for a computer. (Which is philosophically interesting itself.)
