    KG & 1st Grade  & AR:
     
    First graders will be given the STAR Early Literacy Assessment, but are not required to pass AR quizzes like the other grade levels. When the STAR Early Literacy Assessment results indicate that they are ready for reading comprehension they will be encouraged to read and take tests on books at their level.
     
    Kindergarten students are learning basic library skills and rules so they will be ready to check books out next year!
