RAC REQUIREMENTS

Dowling Catholic High School is committed to promoting the benefits of reading. Aside from the books that are a required part of classroom work, the program requires additional reading of each student. RAC is Reading Across the Curriculum.

Students are required to read up to four (4) additional books each school year, selecting titles from reading lists published by the school. Only books on the RAC list receive credit. Students may suggest books for the RAC list. Forms may be obtained in the media center. Students may read ahead.

Students may conference with a staff member or administrator. The student must have the book with them when conferencing a book.

Students will receive a letter grade (A, C, or F) at the end of each semester. If at least one book has been successfully completed by a RAC due date, the student will receive an "C" for the semester. If two books have been successfully completed by the RAC due dates, the student will receive an "A" for the semester. If the student has failed to meet the deadline with any completed RAC books, an "F" will be issued for the course semester grade. RAC grades will be included in the G.P.A. and appear on the transcript. Students will receive .5 credits each year for successfully completing RAC.
