Weekly "Paychecks"

What are paychecks?

Students and families can track their progress each week by looking at their paychecks every Friday through the DeansList for Families App, finding them on Google Classroom, or getting a paper copy when we are in person.

Paychecks include the following information:

• Percent of Total Points earned this week (70% or higher is a good week)

• Weekly attendance information (95% attendance is our goal every week!)

• Points earned for each class (students can earn Classwork, Participation, Homework, and Exit Ticket points for most classes)

• Grades for each class (as of that date)

• Weekly uniform information

• Weekly preparedness information

• Weekly behavior information

Why do paychecks matter?

Paychecks help families and students see how they are doing in school and can be a great way to set goals on what students need to work on. For example, if students aren't earning many points in homework, they can work with their teachers and families to set goals for improving their homework.

Also, students can spend their points at the School Store! Students can buy things including school supplies, sports equipment, art supplies, and tickets to school events when we are in person. 

How do students earn points?

Students can earn points for the following things:

• Being present and on time (you earn less points if you are tardy or dismissed early)

• Being prepared for the day with your school supplies (books, binders, pencils, etc.)

• Being in uniform

• Working hard in class (you can earn classwork, participation, and exit ticket points in most classes)

• Finishing your homework each night

• Bonus points for doing a super awesome job!
