What is AR?
AR stands for Accelerated Reader. It is a computer based reading comprehension program. Each
student takes a Star Test which gives the grade equivalent and "zone" for the student to read with
maximum comprehension.
--------------------------------------
Will AR count as a part of my grade?
Yes, AR will count 1/5 of each student's reading grade. Teachers will average the percent correct of
each student's test with the percent of his or her point goal. These two percentages are shown on each
tops report. Students are to keep a record of all test scores.

What is the school dress code?
Students may wear solid navy, hunter green or white collared shirts, and the pants may be kaki, navy or
hunter green.

May we buy school supplies at school?

day.

Will my child need an agenda book?

to have a copy of school rules and procedures.

Is there a dismissal plan for car riders?
At Castle Heights Upper Elementary School, we are concerned with the safety of our students.
For this reason we are making a few requests of you concerning car dismissal. There will be two car lanes in the pick up.
This will leave the middle lane open. If you are the first person in either lane, pull all the way to the end of the median.
Each car that follows needs to pull all the way down to the car in front. We will load students back to the curve in both
lanes. A signal will be given for cars to move forward one lane at a time. Once the cars start moving, students will not be
permitted to load. If your child did not get in your car the first time, then you will need to get in line to pull around again.
Cars need to keep moving until you are told to stop. Please remain in your car; we will get your child to you. When all
cars are stopped, we will begin loading. We will continue this procedure until 3:15. At this time any students that have
not been picked up will need to go to the front office to wait. Please do not park in either of the parking lots and expect your
child to come to you this is dangerous for the students as well as the drivers.
