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 restored?

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