What is the CREDIT System? |
How CREDITS Are Earned: |
How CREDITS Are Restored: |
|
We understand our students are still learning and practicing our IB attributes and sometimes need a moment to reflect on choices.
Here are the steps for our CREDIT System:
The expectation is that students will restore their CREDITs as a way to reflect and learn. Students who do not restore CREDITs may lose privileges until CREDITs are restored. Privileges include: sports, field trips, dances, class parties, etc. Communication about CREDIT loss and CREDIT restoration will happen between students, teachers, and parents via planners, emails, and/or reflection forms. |
Please note, this list is meant to provide an example of why CREDITs may be given, but amount may change depending on the situation.
1 CREDIT
Disruption Disrespect Minor Technology violation Inappropriate language, including teasing Out of uniform or dress code (1/2 credit each time) 2 CREDITs "Rough housing" (pushing/shoving) 3 CREDITs Continued disrespect/disruption In unauthorized area without permission Overt defiance or disrespect 4 CREDITs Poor behavior for a substitute Offensive language/Profanity 5 CREDITs Major Technology misuse |
Students must get approval for desired restoration activity from a staff member. Once given approval, students will be given a restoration sheet to write a reflection and get a signature from whoever they did the restoration with.
20 minutes of service = 1 CREDIT
