Q. What are House Tickets and how do students earn them?
A. House Tickets are given to students based on goals we are working on in the elementary. Our current goals include:
1. Meeting hallway expectations
2. Good manners
3. Exhibiting good character traits.
When students receive a house ticket, they put it in the container for their house. Each classroom and the main office have containers. Tickets are important to earn because each ticket equals a point for their house.

A. House points are tallied weekly. Houses can get RECOGNITION and REWARDS for earning the most points during a set time. House points can also be earned during House Games.
Q. What are House Games?
A. House Games are scheduled at least once a month. Houses will compete against each other in games to earn points for their house. Games are an exciting and fun way to interact with your House members and show your House spirit!
Q. What are House Rewards?
A. House Rewards are awarded to the House with the most points earned by a set date. Once Rewards have been awarded, the points start over. Rewards may be on campus or off campus. All members of the winning House will go together to take part in the reward.
Q. Will you ever change what house you are in?
A. No. Once you have drawn for a house, you will be in that house until you leave the elementary. If you move and return, you will return to the same house you were in.
