AR Book Finder

Bishop Carroll Catholic High School recognizes the importance of reading in our students’ future successes — both in and out of the classroom. Therefore, we continue to require that students complete a supplemental reading requirement in order to graduate. The Accelerated Reader (AR) program is used to assist students and teachers in completing this requirement.

Students received a book for the summer reading program.  They are also encouraged to read other books during the summer. See below on how to determine if the book you choose is an AR Book and to be sure it is not on the Do Not Read list.   Summer reading projects and AR tests must be completed by Wednesday, September 6.  Remember, students are required to earn 14 points by September 27, 2023. Summer reading prepares students for the upcoming school year and gives teachers a common ground with which to begin instruction. Some specifics of this program are listed below:

• All BC students must complete 28 AR points this school year.

• Of those 28 points, 14 must be completed by Wednesday, September 27, 2023.

• Of the remaining points, 7 must be completed by the end of the second marking period, and 7 must be completed by the end of the third marking period.

• Students who do not meet the required AR deadlines will be placed on Academic Probation for a minimum of one week. For example, students who do not meet the 14 point requirement by Wednesday, September 28 will be placed on academic probation for a minimum of one week. Students will remain on the weekly list until the requirement is met by the following weekly deadline. If the points are not earned by the end of the marking period then the student will be ineligible for 15 days from the date of the report card.
