Code of Conduct

The purpose of the Accelerated Reader program is to encourage reading and improve reading comprehension skills.  With this in mind, students are expected to follow the rules described below:

1. Students may only take tests on books they have read or that someone has read to them.

2. Students may only take tests one dot below their assigned reading level.

3. Students may not take a test on a book that has been made into a movie unless they have read the book.

4. Students may not use Cliff notes, classic comic books, videos, or abridged versions of the book to try to pass the test.

5. Students may not take tests for other students.

6. Students must not reveal their password to anyone other than a parent or teacher.

7. Students may not discuss AR questions or answers with other students.

8. Students should not do anything that would be considered cheating.

Students who choose to break the rules will face the following consequences:

A. The test or tests involved in the cheating incident will receive a score of zero.

B. The student will not be able to participate in the monthly breakfast or earn any rewards in the AR program for the remainder of the trimester.

What is Accelerated Reader?What is Accelerated Reader?

Accelerated Reader is a reading program that is used school-wide at Beatty.  Accelerated Reader is available in every classroom, the computer lab, and the library. 

As Beatty students learn to read, we encourage them to read selections from our Accelerated Reader List. These books can be found in our classrooms, our school library, and the Enterprise Library on Las Vegas Blvd. After students read an Accelerated Reader book, they take a computerized comprehension test. Points are awarded for each test passed.  Students earn certificates and rewards according to the number of points they earn. We hope you will support and encourage your child as they become an Accelerated Reader!
