***Disclaimer: Although encouraged, LiveSchool is still in the early stages, and teachers may choose to utilize a separate form of PBIS/Incentives for their classrooms. Remember, PBIS encompasses a wide range of systemic and individualized positive strategies to reinforce positive behaviors. Feel free to inquire with your teacher(s) about the types of PBIS they use if LiveSchool is not an option.

WHAT IS LIVESCHOOL?

LiveSchool is an award-winning app that helps make school more fun and fair, and creates a positive learning environment. Teachers can award points for good behavior and hard work, which help students earn rewards, as well as document negative behavior and comments. By working hard on a regular basis, students will be able to earn rewards! LiveSchool also helps teachers give feedback to parents so they understand how students are doing in school.

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM?

Research shows that one of the biggest factors on a child’s learning is the classroom environment. Using LiveSchool, teachers are able to create a more positive learning environment for all students!

HOW DO I GET SIGNED UP?

Complete a ticket by clicking 'Click above for Ticket to receive your LiveSchool Code' and submit it to receive your code within 24-48 business hours. Once you have your code, you will get signed up by entering it into the Student and/or Parent Sign In Page. After you enter your code, you will be prompted to complete your account by entering your school e-mail and creating a password.

HOW DOES RECOMMENDING ITEMS WORK? WHAT CAN I RECOMMEND?

As we get to the end of the school year, many (if not all) of the items that can be provided by teachers will disappear since they won't be applicable. Instead, we are going to adjust pricing on current items, and add items based on student recommendations! $25 and $50 Starbucks and Amazon Gift Cards were already limited (and noted) from the beginning, and the second store opening helped to reach that limit for these particular gift cards. Therefor, the remainder of the $25 and $50 Amazon and Starbucks Gift Cards are going to be for raffles only (there will be multiple raffles in the final opening). If you were saving up for one of these cards, think of the items you wanted to buy and suggest them to the store via the Ticket (you can also e-mail PBIS@ohva.org)! You can also input any questions or concerns on the Ticket if you need any clarification.

You can recommend a new store item by clicking above where it says 'Click above for Ticket to receive your LiveSchool Code or Put in a Recommendation for a Store Item' and submit it! Your item(s) will be reviewed for things like accessibility and pricing, and if they are able to be added to the store, you will see them listed within a couple days of the recommendation. You can recommend anything, but not all items will be picked/added to the store. You will not be notified if your item is not chosen. You can check the store periodically to see updates. All new items will be added by Friday of the week.

WHEN DOES THE STORE OPEN?

TBA

HOW DO I BUY AND CHECKOUT ITEMS?

Once the store is open, you will use it like a regular online store. Make sure you are looking at the teacher modifications on the left-hand side. You can also login on the left-hand side to LiveSchool to easily access your points while you shop! Do not purchase more than you can afford. When you check out, make sure you follow ALL instructions.

• Get logged into LiveSchool (left) and check your points. You can add items to your cart that are equal or less than the total points you have. Once you check out, you will put your school email (notifications will arrive soon to e-mails for updates) and YOUR GRADE where it says PHONE NUMBER. After that, you will complete the checkout by following the steps, and patiently wait for your rewards :).

WHEN DO ITEMS SHIP AND GET DELIVERED? HOW DO I TRACK MY ORDER?

Also, receipts are officially going out from notifications.ecwid.com.

• All items are now "shipped" via Packaged Box/Stuffed Packaging - Amazon. They are shipped and delivered during processing week.

CAN I BUY THINGS WHEN THE STORE IS CLOSED?

You can not buy things while the store is closed. If your teacher has their OWN store for you to purchase from, you can contact them directly to buy items.

MY CODE ISN'T WORKING! HELP!

If you have already used your code once to set up your LiveSchool account, then you need to log in using the information you created (e-mail and username). Codes work once, are assigned once, and you do not receive a new one if you've forgotten your password. Instead, you can e-mail The PBIS TEAM (PBIS@ohva.org) to reset your password if you have forgotten.

DO POINTS CARRY OVER FOR NEXT YEAR?

No! Next year we will start fresh :) !
