TEAMOLOGY

POWER - Teamology Picture

We will incorporate our School Wide Positive Behavior Plan with TEAMOLOGY again this year. We will focus on a character each month and highlight their trait(special POWER) with the students. Students can earn a ticket when they are demonstrating the character each month and get their photo on the Principal's 200 Club chart in the hallway outside the cafeteria. Once we complete a row or column, those students in the winning row/column win a prize. 

Here is a photo of our first winning row for October, representing Harper's Helpers:

Here is our second winning row for the end of October/beginning of November:
