Reminder - Class wide Award program through PBIS 

We are starting the class award program this month.  Here are the areas that your class can earn an award.

Gym – Golden Sneaker; Art – Golden Paintbrush; Spanish – Golden Sombrero; Technology – Golden Mouse; Library – Golden Book; Music – Golden Music Note; Cafeteria – Golden whisk; Custodians – Golden Trash Can

All the special area teachers will base their selection on the class that is prepared for class, finds their seats quickly and shows that they are ready to get started.  They will also follow all school rules during class.  In the cafeteria each class will keep their area clean, use inside voices, and follow the directions given by cafeteria staff.  The custodians will base their pick on the classroom that keeps their rooms neat and clean  (policing the floor and desktops at the end of the day).  The winning classes will be announced at the PBIS assembly each month and given the trophy to display for that month.  A certificate will also be placed in the school lobby for visitors to see our winning classes.

Each class can earn more than one award in a month and throughout the remainder of the year.
