ARAR is worth 10% of your quarter grade.
Your STAR test result will determine the number of points you will need each nine weeks, and the level of books you should be reading.
Look on the spine of the book to determine the book level and how many points it is worth.
Points are rewarded according to student performance on AR tests.
When you finish a book, take an AR test.Students are rewarded for AR points at the end
of the year with the AR trip.

Have a great year!I believe that success comes to those who
take ownership of their goals and actions. If you want to do well in English, decide that you are going to do well, and then act on that decision. Grades don’t just happen to you. Your actions and abilities determine your grade. Don’t let life happen to you; make life happen for you.
