📚 Accelerated Reader “Above and Beyond” Policy
Baseline Requirement: Every student must earn 10 AR points for the first quarter, 11 points for the 2nd quarter, 12 points for the third quarter, and 13 points for the fourth quarter from independent reading.
Above and Beyond: Students who earn more than the required amount of AR points will earn extra credit.
💡 Notes: This policy is optional -- students who meet the quarterly point goal are on track and doing exactly what is expected. Additionally, books read in the classroom do not count toward the quarterly point grade goal; however, they can count toward the Above & Beyond Goal
