Accelerated Reader Program Accelerated Reader or AR is a computer program where students are assisted with choosing books that are at an appropriate reading level yet still challenging and of interest to them. When the book is finished, the student takes a short quiz on the computer. Passage of the quiz indicates the student comprehends what he or she read; failure may indicate the student should be reading books that are on a different level or more appropriate. Based on the quiz results, the teacher helps the student set goals and directs ongoing reading practice. Students can also take AR quizzes at home.

BYOD Policy Devices must be charged at home and return home each day Students must remain on task or they will not have BYOD privileges. If students are not on an assigned or teacher approved app or website they will not have BYOD privileges for one week. Repeated offenses will result in the student not being able to bring a device to school for the remainder of the year. *Remember all usernames and passwords are private.
