Students are rewarded for hard work, academic performance, and positive social behavior. Each student is provided a reward stamp card. When they fill the stamp places (20) they turn it in. At the end of the week, each student who has completed a card picks from a variety of reward items. We have recognition assemblies at the end of each quarter in which the students receive recognition for their hard work and a party.
Below is a matrix of the areas we emphasize and teach to help in their academic success.
