Most student numbers begin with 90 or 91. If your child has been in the school 3 years or less, it usually is 91. If they have been in Dekalb County schools longer than that, it may begin with 90. After the 90 or 91, the next five numbers is the student’s lunch number. The password for Accelerated Reader is their four digit birthday. For example, if the child’s birthday is on March 1, the password would be 0301. If their birthday was on September 25, their password would be 0925.
