Accelerated Reader
This section updated August 15, 2008
Kenston Forest School students have access to all Accelerated Reader quizzes through Renaissance Place. Click here to check for a quiz. Students read books to take online quizzes while learning about and using technology at school during the school day. Points are awarded based on reading comprehension. Points qualify students for participation in fun and exciting activities.
LANYARDS When your child (grades K-7) reaches a designated classroom goal, he or she will earn a lanyard. A star is added to the lanyard insert for every 5 points earned thereafter. Students who earn 200 points will be awarded a gift certificate. The lanyards will remain at school, and we will have "LANYARD DAY" each Wednesday when the children wear their lanyards all day. They will also wear them to all lower school awards assemblies.
DISPLAYS
We have a bulletin board display in the upper school building across from the library. Students' names are displayed by grade and point level (10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, etc.). Please stop by and check out all the readers we have at Kenston Forest!
POINT CLUB REWARDS
Each class designs their own prizes and events to reward those students that have achieved preset goals. For a list of these goals and prizes, contact your child's teacher.
TAILGATE PARTY
This lower school event is held at the end of the school year. Students invited to the Tailgate Party must have earned their lanyard or the points required for their lanyard. Activities include a cookout (hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, drinks, and dessert) and special entertainment (TBA). We welcome volunteers to help with the cookout and donations of food or drinks. Please let us know if you can help.
