Recognition

Acknowledging Expected Behaviors

Tiger Points are given when students are demonstrating expected behaviors by following ROAR Expectations.

Tiger Points - Tickets are awarded to students in Class Dojo. At the end of each week, grade level points are added up and classes earning 1000 Tiger Points are awarded an extra 30 minutes of outdoor recess. Once 25,000 Tiger Points are earned as a whole school, a radio call in trivia contest is held to celebrate.
