Dear Families,

We are excited to announce that we will be using Kickboard in our school this year to help build an environment of positivity, accountability, and responsible decision-making. Kickboard is a digital tool used by teachers, SL counselors and administrators to reinforce positive behavior choices in real time and to promote school-wide consistency in expectations. Students can earn or lose points for their behavior choices throughout the school day and evening programming. When a student changes classes, the next teacher, administrators and SL counselor can see that student’s behavior history from the day so far. Student will earn prizes, rewards and other incentives based on their points acquired during the academic and dormitory day. Behaviors are recorded to review progress and put interventions in place where needed.

We will be sending home access codes and instructions for how to create your very own Family Portal account, which will provide you with real time updates on your students’ behavior records. You will be able to log on to the Family Portal on your computer or mobile device. Students will also be able to create Family Portal accounts for themselves.

If you have any questions, please let us know. You can also learn more about Kickboard by visiting www.kickboardforschools.com or your schools Kickboard advisor Mrs. Alexis Boyd aboyd@seedschoolmd.org and Mr.Carter-Bey vbey@seedschoolmd.org

Thank you!
