      Individual Rewards:

      Students can redeem their points for various classroom prizes. We will discuss these prizes with your students!

       

      Individual Consequences:

      Loss of points fall under three categories: Classroom Readiness, Homework Completion, Student/Staff Relations. Once a student has lost three points in one category, they will receive a think sheet to be sent home and serve a reflection the following Friday. Negative points will reset at the end of each month
