Staff = $1 Buck, Bus driver = $2 Buck, Substitute teacher = $3 Buck

When? • Clemente Bucks should be given immediately to students when a behavior in the Expectations Matrix is consistently observed.

13. Guidelines for Awarding“Clemente Bucks” cont. How? • When you award the Clemente Bucks to a student, the student should know exactly why he/she is getting the recognition. The reason should be valid and connected to the core values: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe. • Circle one of the three core values on the buck to denote which behavior is being recognized. • Print the student’s first and last name and sign your name legibly in ink.

14. Guidelines for Awarding“Clemente Bucks” cont. Additional information • See your team leader or department head to restock on bucks. • Try to hand out a minimum of 5 bucks per day. • Focus on WHATyou are giving out Clemente Bucks for, rather than on how many. • Don’t use Clemente Bucks as coercion “If you don’t do this, I’m not giving you a Clemente Buck.”
