Reading Programs:
Every quarter students receive a reading log where they will keep track of the books they’ve read throughout the quarter. Students that complete the entire reading log will be invited to participate in a party held in the media center. Students will be awarded with a certificate, a free book, and other prizes.
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer program that tests students’ reading comprehension. Students earn AR points when they test successfully on a book. The student that earns the most AR points in their grade level will receive a trophy at the end of the school year.
