Student Recognition
SCHOOLWIDE INCENTIVE PROGRAM
One of the most important factors in a student’s successful learning is their motivation to learn, how hard they will try, and how much effort they will put forth. The more a learner is interested and successful with learning, the more the process of learning will become its own reward.
Teachers may include encouragement and praise, positive phone calls home, special classroom activities, and awards and certificates. In addition to the classroom awards, recognition is given to students throughout the year who have demonstrated academic achievement or outstanding citizenship.
