Students are responsible for 7 AR points for the 1st and 2nd 9 week grading periods. The number increases to 9 AR points for the 3rd and 4th 9 week grading periods.
I will enter a grade book grade for AR at the close of the 9 week period. Each required AR point is worth 20 grade book points.
Example: For the 1st 9 weeks students need 7 points. If a student earns all 7 points then they will receive a grade book grade of 7x20 = 140. 140/140 = 100% A
If a student only earns 4 of the required 7 points then the grade book grade will be 4 x 20 = 80/140 = 57 F.
I also give credit for partial points. Ex: If a student earns 5.3 AR points their grade would be 5.3 x 20 = 106/140 = 76 C. Students must meet an 80% accuracy rate for AR points.
I will enter students' AR grade into the online grade book (RenWeb) 1-2 weeks after progress reports go out as a reminder for students still struggling to get their points. As they quiz and earn points I will adjust their grade to reflect the updated points. I will do this until the very last day of the grading period.
**Students cannot use articles to count towards AR grade requirement. Students can use articles to count towards extra point rewards.**
