Gifts must be brought back to school by December 12th.
Apple Cup Tuesday: Dress up for Apple Cup on Tuesday! Please plan to take a staff photo afterschool, this is always a fun event for all no matter what team you support!
PBIS: Cougar Cash and Pride Store Protocol - Repeated Information
After reviewing the survey results, we have created the first iteration of our menu. Cougar Cash is a Tier I intervention which means all students must have access to these tickets. Please determine your plan/s for handing out Cougar Cash/Pride Tickets. We will also be recognizing staff with random drawings; so, be sure to sign your name (legibly) on these tickets.
Protocol:
- Students will receive Cougar Cash for following the Behavior Expectations (see behavior matrices and non-negotiable expectations below.
- Students will save these tickets until the want to cash them in (see menu).
- Students will exchange their tickets for items off the menu on Fridays at lunch with Mr. Reid.
- Mr. Reid will place the tickets into grade level bins; we will have a grade level competition which will last all year. The grade level with the most tickets turned in, will earn a party (details forthcoming).
- At lunch, we will also pull tickets from these bins; students will be called up to spin the prize wheel with a chance to win something from the menu.
Thank you for your donations. Keep them coming, as they are much appreciated!
