On Monday of each week each student receives $75 Sage Computer Science Cash. Each student is responsible for their cash through the week.
Each student exhibiting good classroom behavior and participation receives an additional $5 per day. On Fridays the students have the opportunity to place their weekly cash into a Savings Account. Students receive a weekly performance grade for the amount of cash they place into their savings account at the end of each week. $100 = 100%.

Students failing to deposit at least $60 dollars at the end of a week receive a failing performance grade. This grade warrants teacher contact with parents by email, text, or a phone call.
