Positive Office Referrals
Value Honor Success
Each day in the elementary schools, we teach our students how to have purposeful interactions and goals. We believe that having a common purpose will promote the academic and social emotional well-being of each student. We teach students the VHS model.
To celebrate students accomplishing these things, we have created positive office referrals, with VHS tickets. Teachers and staff hand out VHS tickets when they see a student doing the right thing.
Working Hard!
Callie did such a good job working hard on her studies. She earned a VHS ticket from Mrs. Hall. Way to go Callie!!
Helping Others!
Addelynn earned a VHS ticket from Mrs. Meadows for cleaning up after one of her friends without being asked. Way to go Addelynn!
Good Students!
