PRIDE Cards
- Reminder, I have some clips for those students who would prefer no lanyards. They do have to wear them above the waist.
- Students do not have to come get a sticker in the sign in the system if they forget their PRIDE card. They just do not get their privileges.
- Privileges for students with PRIDE cards:
- Cell phones (using red light/ green light)
- snacks in class if allowed
- headphones (with one ear bud out)
- Hat day this Friday
- Students need to wear their PRIDE cards around their necks. I do have some clips for students who would rather have a clip. The clips must be worn on their shirt so we do not have to search for their cards.
- It will probably take a little while for students to remember to bring their cards. Let's help remind them and maybe help them with organizational strategies. For example, some students may need to put their PRIDE card in their locker when they leave for the day and retrieve when they get to school. They do not have to have a PRIDE card on the bus, etc.
- As items come up, write down your questions for us to clarify and discuss.
