BISD AR Schools

Breeden Elementary earned 1st Place and Benavides Elementary placed 2nd in the District Accelerated Reader (AR) Proficiency Program at the end of the fifth six weeks. The program, sponsored by the BISD Library/Media Services Department, encourages students to attain proficiency rather than points in order to gain literacy skills. Both schools earned the opportunity to send 50 students to a Party Palooza Event. Breeden can also pay to send additional students. BISD campuses are showing significant AR gains but there is still room for the AR Proficiency Program to grow.
