AR is NOT our reading program. It is only a tool for our teachers to determine that a student has read a book and earns credit for said book. It is not intended to be a deterrent but rather an incentive to encourage reading for our students. Please help us to change the mindset of AR feeling like punishment and a burden to bear.
AR is an acronym for Accelerated Reader, a literacy program that helps teachers and librarians monitor student reading progress. Students read books, worth a certain number of points, and take tests over them.

AR Bookfinder is a website that can be used to search for information about an AR quiz for a book. You go to the website, type in the book title, and you will see the AR quiz number, book level, and how many AR points the book is worth. You can also request a quiz for a book you have read or want to read.
Renaissance Home Connect improves the school-to-home connection by allowing parents and students to log in to a website and view their student's reading progress towards goals. Parents can also sign up for email alerts notifying them when their child takes a test and what they score.
