AR Rewards Program
Each teacher sets individual goals for students each six weeks for AR goals based on a several assessments and each child's individual skill level. No two goals are the same because not all our students are the same.
If students meet their goal each six weeks we reward them with an AR party. At the end of the year, students who go above and beyond are rewarded with a field trip off campus and it always includes something fun. Students in grades K-8th are eligible for the trip if they earn the following points for the year:
Kinder-50 points
1st-75 points
2nd-5th: 100 points
6th-8th-150 points
