AR Requirements

Reading is a critically important skill, and one which Bishop Carroll is committed to developing in all students. 

Accelerated Reader

Bishop Carroll Catholic High School recognizes the importance of reading in our students’ future successes – both in and out of the classroom. Therefore, we continue to require that students complete a supplemental reading requirement in order to graduate.  The Accelerated Reader (AR) program is used to assist students and teachers in completing this requirement.

Requirements

• All BC students must complete 28 AR points this school year.
• Of those 28 points, 14 must be completed by the end of the first marking period.
• Of the remaining points, 7 must be completed by the end of the second marking period, and 7 must be completed by the end of the third marking period.
• Students who do not meet the required AR deadlines will be placed on Academic Probation for a minimum of one week.  For example, students who do not meet the 14 point requirement by September will be placed on academic probation for a minimum of one week.  Students may only return to full participation upon completion of the requirement.
• In addition, the AR test score average will be included as part of the English grade.
