School-Wide Positive Incentives

Miller Links

Miller Links are given to the entire class of students for exhibiting positive behavior - any Miller staff member can award links. When a class gets 10, 25, and 50, the class receives a classroom reward from a predetermined list of rewards. When a class earns 62 links and hits the floor, the class will receive a classroom reward.

Champ of the week

Each Thursday, all classroom teachers will nominate students (3-4) from their homeroom class that exhibit behaviors aligned to C.A.R.E. The students will vote anonymously for the Champ of the Week on Friday. The Champ of the week will be announced in their classroom at the end of the day on Friday.

Champs will take home stuffed animal (class mascot) and a journal and share about their weekend in the journal. Students are encouraged to add pictures to the journal.

Counselor’s Character Club

Students will work towards a different character trait each month. Teachers will choose 1 student that has shown the most growth with their character trait and they will be in the Counselor’s Character Club. The Counselor’s Character Club is recognized once a month and gets to eat lunch lunch on stage with our counselor Mrs. Young.

Miller Money

Miller Money is awarded to individual students. Students can earn Miller Money in all location of the school for exhibiting qualities of C.A.R.E.

Miller Money can be awarded for both academic efforts and exhibiting character traits (i.e. using academic vocabulary during class discussions, persevering through a difficult task)
Students will have the opportunity to cash in their money at the “Miller Mall”, which will be done using a google form.

Principal’s 100

Positive office referrals (principals 100) will be put into staff mailboxes every week.Staff will hand out to students for exhibiting positive behaviors aligned to C.A.R.E. Students can get a positive referral from any staff member at Miller. Students will go to the office to draw a number. Their ticket will go in the spot that correlates to that number on the Positive Office Referral Board in the main hallway. When 10 squares in a row are filled, those 10 students will have the opportunity to win a mystery prize from the Principal. The mystery prize will be announced on Fridays.

Miller Recognition

Each student will work collaboratively with their teacher to develop goals each 9 week in the area of reading, math and character. These goals will be communicated to parents at the beginning of the 9 weeks. Students will have a procedure for tracking their goal each week to determine their progress towards their goals. At the end of the 9 weeks, one boy and one girl from each class will be recognized for their outstanding academic achievement. Some examples of awards are:

Mighty Math Marshalls
Reading Rangers
Star Deputy (Rounding Up Great Character)
