The School Dates and Times for Accelerated Reader preference allows you to set date restrictions, time restrictions, and weekend restrictions and to allow restrictions to be overridden using the authorisation password. School and school network administrators can change the preference settings, but all users can view the settings as described below.
Who can do this with default user permissions?
School Network Level Administrators, School Network Staff, School Level Administrators, School Staff, Teachers
School network-level administrators and school network staff can view the preference for all schools on your site. School-level administrators, school staff, and teachers can view the preference for their schools. Note: The preference settings remain from one school year to the next, so you should review the settings at the start of each new school year.
- At the top of the Home page or Renaissance Next page, select your initials, then Edit Preferences.
- Select Dates and Times for Accelerated Reader under the School Preferences on the Preferences page. (You may need to select the School Preferences heading to view the list of school preferences.)
- You will see the current settings for your schools. If the first box is ticked for a school, students may only take quizzes between the dates shown.
If the second box is ticked for a school, students cannot take quizzes on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays).
If the third box is ticked, students can only take quizzes between the times specified.
If the last box is ticked, teachers can override any of these restrictions by entering the authorisation password. - When you have finished viewing the settings, select < Back to go back to the Preferences page.
