StarBuck$ and Classroom Currency

Throughout the class students will have the opportunity to earn pretend money based on their effort and performance in the class. The money can provide many benefits in class including possible extra credit, but the money system will have NO NEGATIVE IMPACT on their grade in the class. In addition to class benefits, the money system teaches students life skills in money management and work ethics.

It is the responsibility of the student to create a safe place for their StarBuck$! If a student loses theirs or does not have a safe compartment each day, they will have to remain in class to create one.
