  2. Changes have been made To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.   John Henry Newman

  3. Goals of the Promise Program • To learn: • How to learn. • How to properly respond in a school setting. • How to manage time wisely. • How to enjoy school without getting in trouble.

  4. To be successful in school, YOU must learn to be receptive so you can receive!

  5. Being receptive begins with: • Listening to others…your peers, teachers, administrators, parents. • Following classroom expectations. • Completing assignments.

  6. Promise Point System • The student will follow classroom expectations to be eligible for rewards, which can include: • Eating lunch in the lunchroom with your peers. • Taking part in special activities. • Plus opportunities to use I-pods during online study and concession stand before classes begin. • Field Trips • “To Be Announced”

  7. I-Pod Info • Bring your own device and headphones. • NO internet music sites. Ever. Period. • If you are playing your music so loudly that the rest of the class is disrupted, you may lose your I-Pod privilege. • If the previous day’s score sheet does not show a 3 or 4 score, you must turn the device in with your cell phone.

  8. Your Score Counts! The most important reward is having a HIGH AVERAGE in your behavior points. Used for: • Your class participation grade • An item to consider when you may be eligible for getting out of the evening promise program!

  9. Classroom Expectations • Completing assigned tasks! • Bell rings = Class begins.  (In class, trash thrown away, folders/assignments at the ready, no food) • Seated at your work area the entire class. Bell to bell! • Using appropriate, accountable talk! • No electronic devices or non-educational websites! • On task the entire period.

  10. Classroom Expectations at Work • Each day you will begin with 200 points. • Each class you will have an opportunity to earn 100 points each class by fulfilling ALL classroom expectations. • Completing assigned tasks! (40 pts) • Door closes = Class begins. Seated at your work area the entire class. (10 pts) • Using appropriate, accountable talk! (20 pts) • No electronic devices or non-educational websites! (10 pts) • On task the entire period! (20 pts)

  11. Classroom Expectations at Work • Each day you will have an opportunity of receiving up to 800 total points. • For each class, you will be evaluated on the expectations. • For each expectation achieved, you will receive positive points. • For each expectation not achieved, you will be deducted points. • There is NO “even;” you earn or lose.

  12. Period 1 – On the right track!

  13. Period 2 – Messed up a little, but still good

  14. Period 3 – You couldn’t resist checking out websites for shoes!

  15. Period 4 – Uh-oh! Get the picture?

  16. Star System • Daily perfect score = 4 stars! • Loss less than 50 pts = 3 stars! • Loss less than 100 pts = 2 stars! • Loss between 110-210 = 1 star! • Loss more than 210 = 0 stars!

  17. The Goal is to get 4 Stars

  18. Rewards for Meeting Expectations • For each day you earn 4 or 3 stars, you will be permitted: • To eat lunch the next day with your peers in the cafeteria during your assigned lunch time! • Have iPods in class as long as it doesn’t interfere with the class! Abuse it and lose it! • Permitted to be escorted to the concession stand to grab a snack that will be devoured before entering class or during the lunch period. • Behavior time with games!

  19. Consequences for Not Meeting Expectations • For each day you earn 2 stars you will only earn: • Lunch with peers • Activities

  20. Consequences for Not Meeting Expectations • For each day you only 1 star, you will only earn: • Lunch with peers • No Activities This consequence – a score of 1 - applies when you miss school as well!

  21. Consequences for Not Meeting Expectations • For each day you have a score of 0 – zero – points • No Activities • Lunch detention with bagged lunch!

  22. Star System • If you are able to maintain a 2 star average from Friday to Thursday…you will be permitted to participate in special activities, usually on that Friday. • If you have a five day average of 1.99 star or less you will participate in a 1 hr behavior management class during that special activity time.

  23. Star System • What does this have to do with getting out of night school? • You must have a 2-star average or better. • The Promise Program involves a minimum 9-week participation before we discuss leaving.

  24. Your Education is #1 Everything we do here at WHHS has the end goal of getting YOU a great education! The Promise Program is always being evaluated to help everyone meet that goal. The Promise staff may decide to add, delete, or change this point system if we need to.
