Student Award Recognition Policy
 

We administered a Student Recognition Survey to all of our students during the Advisory class. We asked the students to identify the areas that they wished to receive recognition and to tell us how they prefer to be recognized for their efforts. Our students asked to be recognized for the following: Perfect Attendance, All As, A/B Honor Roll, Good Citizenship, and Most Improved. They reported that instead of an Awards Ceremony each 6 weeks, that they wanted to receive gift certificates, coupons, pizza parties, etc. As a result of their feedback, we will be recognizing our students in the following way:

All A's: NJHS Certificate, Free Ice Bats Ticket, and an invitation to an after school pizza party (Will be handed out in Advisory)

A/B Honor Roll: Certificate and a coupon for Putt N Fun (Will be handed out in Advisory)

Perfect Attendance: Certificate per semester and a coupon for Austin Park and Pizza

Grizzly Pride: Window decal, pencil topper, and a reception to be held each 6 weeks in our Library

20 Point Club: Any student who improves a minimum of 20 points from the 2nd six weeks to the third six weeks, will be a member of our 20 Pt. Club and will receive an invitation to an after-school pizza party.

Grizzly PRIDE: (Positive, Respectful, Involved, Dedicated, and Exceptional) Each teacher will select a student who demonstrates the PRIDE characteristics mentioned above.

Letters will be mailed to the parents of the students nominated for the Grizzly Pride award. The teachers will hand the student a copy of this letter the day before the reception as a reminder. The receptions honoring our Grizzly Pride Students for the 2006-07 school year will be held on Oct. 3, Nov. 14, Jan. 9, Mar. 1, and Apr. 17 from 7:50 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. in the GMS Library. We will have coffee, juice, and donuts for the students and their families. We will also take a picture of our students to put on display in our commons area for the next 6 weeks.

We will have an End-of-the-Year Awards Ceremony on Thursday, May 10, 2007 in the GMS Gym.

Invitations will be mailed to the parents of students who will be receiving awards at the May ceremony.
