We strongly recommend that students take their AR quizzes at school to ensure they complete them independently and without assistance from family members. To support this, the AR quiz window has been restricted to 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM. We also encourage students to use their books as a resource while taking a quiz. Ultimately, our goal is not only for students to meet their Reading Challenge targets but also to strengthen their reading comprehension skills.
To ensure fairness across all school sites, we kindly request that everyone adhere to the 3:00 PM cutoff for quizzes. If you choose to extend quiz times beyond 3:00 PM, your site will not be eligible to participate in the district-wide Reading Challenge. If parents want their students to participate in the Reading Challenge at home, please encourage them to have their children read at home and take the quizzes at school.
