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. 

Students can also earn Rockstar Roadrunner Tickets from teachers and staff for demonstrating kindness, setting a good example, earning good grades, striving for success, and showing respect to others. Selected students earn a prize every two weeks from their classroom prize bin and are entered into a monthly school-wide drawing. This is an awesome opportunity to show fellow students what it means to be a Rockstar Roadrunner!
