• Original works of art created directly in the computer are acceptable. No AI art.
• Two-dimensional work must be appropriately matted to avoid damage to the artwork during installation. No frames. Not required to have fine-art-grade matboard, poster board will suffice. The matt is used to install the work
using clips in a “mosaic” pattern. For this reason, work on canvas board or regular canvas is much more difficult to install.

Renaissance
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer-based program that students at Stellar Charter School have access to in order to monitor reading practice and progress. Students take short quizzes after reading a book to check for comprehension and reach their reading goals.
How are AR Goals set?
Grades K-1: AR uses a points goal system for students in grades K-1 that will be assigned a goal each semester according to their grade and suggested daily reading is 15 minutes.
Grades 2-8: AR uses a points goal system that will be generated by the STAR assessment they take at the beginning of the year and at benchmark periods throughout the year. Reading will be between 15-30 minutes a day depending on grade level.
Grades 9-12: AR uses a points goal system that will be generated by STAR assessments they take at the beginning of the year and at benchmark periods throughout the year. Reading will be 30 minutes a day.
How many points do books earn? Students can earn points for every book they read. The number of points is based on a book’s length and difficulty.
How can students earn points? Students earn points when they take a quiz for each book. Passing a quiz requires a score of at least 80%. However, if they score higher than 60 percent on the quiz, they receive a fraction of the total points they could earn from it.
Get recognized for reading! At Stellar, all students who reach their goal each semester will receive special recognition with their name displayed in the breezeway. Students in K-8th will be given a prize and students in 9-12th will be eligible for rewards for a gift certificate to Dutch Bros or In-N-Out.
