Caring . Respectful . Empathetic . Demonstrating Attributes . Intentional . Thinker

     What is the CREDIT system?

     We understand our students are still learning and practicing our IB attributes and sometimes need a moment to reflect on choices.

Steps for our CREDIT System:

• Reminders and warnings

• Reflection and reteaching

• CREDIT loss for behaviors that go beyond warnings/reminders​

• CREDIT restoration opportunities --- this is a way for students to "make things right"

The expectation is that students will restore their CREDITs as a way to reflect and learn. Students who do not restore CREDITs may lose privileges until CREDITs are restored.  

Privileges include: sports, field trips, dances, class parties, etc. 

Communication about CREDIT loss and CREDIT restoration will happen between students, teachers, and parents via planners, emails, and/or reflection forms. 

    How are CREDITS earned?

Please note, this list is meant to provide an example of why CREDITs may be given, but amount may change depending on the situation.

1 CREDIT

Disruption

Disrespect

Minor Technology violation

Inappropriate language, including teasing

Out of uniform or dress code (1/2 credit each time)  

2 CREDITs

3 CREDITs

Continued disrespect/disruption

4 CREDITs

    How are CREDITS restored?

Students must get approval for desired restoration activity from the staff member who issued the CREDIT. Once given approval, students will be given a restoration sheet

to write a reflection and  get a signature from whoever they did the restoration with.

20 minutes of service = 1 CREDIT
