The Golden Lion Says: Follow the 3 R’s OUR PBIS CORE VALUES • BE RESPONSIBLE • BE RESPECTFUL • BE READY
Reward Bracelets Why? The Bracelets are used to recognize positive behavior and encourage our students to consistently demonstrate the LJHS’s core values: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Ready. White, green or gold bracelets will be given to students who earn points by demonstrating the LJHS core values with their grades, attendance and positive behavior. Who? Teachers will: • Take accurate attendance • Keep accurate grades • Give out postcards
Postcards • Postcards should be given out by faculty to recognize exceptional or improved behaviors. This includes: • Random acts of kindness • Improved performance in any area- academic, social, behavior, attendance, etc… • Postcards are a way of reinforcing the 3 R’s, as well as, reaching students who may not otherwise be recognized. • Postcards get handed in to Kelly Chichester and will be mailed home.
