A.R./ STAR

Accelerated Reader

The Evangeline Elementary Library seeks to instill in our students a love of reading and a love of books. In working with the classroom teachers, it is our goal to play an integral role in helping students to achieve excellence in education.

STAR Reading scores represent how students performed on this test compared to a nationally representative sample of students. These scores present a "snapshot" of achievement at a specific point in time. It is important to remember that many factors can affect a student's test scores. STAR test scores give only one picture of how a student is doing in school.

The Accelerated Reader program allows students to answer questions on a recently read book whose level is based on his/her STAR score. The AR program is built on the premise that practice strengthens performance. Students must read and test on books that are on their individual reading level and score 85 percent or better to earn points.

Students will be allowed to check out books from our school library. When a student loses a book they are not allowed to check out books until the book is returned or the book is paid for.

******Remember, reading touches everything that we do. So try to read for at least 15-30 minutes each day....The more you practice, the better you become!*******

Student of the Week

A student of the week will be chosen once a week starting the 2^nd nine week period.  That student will be chosen based on exemplary performance in either academics, behavior, or improvement.  The will be able to enjoy several privileges throughout the week.  This recognition is in addition to our “Cub of the Month”   award through our PBS program.
