CAMPUS-WIDE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
LEARNING INCENTIVES
Learning incentives are a feature of our positive behavior support plan.
The positive behavior support plan focuses on acknowledging students
who demonstrate positive, appropriate behaviors. This program works
in conjunction with school-wide, classroom, and student goals.
Learning incentives will be issued by using a ‘punch card’ system.
Students will each have a lanyard with an attached punch card. As
students are seen meeting and exceeding school-wide expectations
punches will be issued. Each grade level team will establish guidelines
on how to best implement classroom incentives. Incentives will be given
at an individual, homeroom, and at academic class levels.
STUDENT PRIDE FOLDERS & GOAL
SHEETS
Students will each have a PRIDE folder with a PRIDE card. PRIDE
cards will be used to communicate issues that may be occurring at
school.
Inside the PRIDE folder students will also have a goal sheet. Each six
weeks students will write an academic goal (grades 3-5, per subject)
and a behavior goal on the goal sheet. Students will review their goals
weekly in class and write new goals each six weeks.
LEARNING CHOICES
Should students not meet school-wide or classroom expectations
learning choices will be used. Learning choices are used when students
must learn in a different location.
1. Redirect
2. Relocate within the classroom – 1st mark
3. Practice Academy with teacher/Missing Recess – 2nd mark
4. Reflection sheet completed by student about their behavior requiring
parent signature – 3rd mark
5. Parent Phone Call – 4th mark

Reading Renaissance
Accelerated Reader encourages substantial differentiated
reading practice to create strong readers. Based on each
student’s independent reading level, AR helps teachers
set personalized goals for each student, and select books
that are difficult enough to keep students challenged, but
not too difficult to cause frustration.
AR helps teachers monitor students’ vocabulary growth,
literacy skills development, and reading skills taught
through basal readers and other reading textbooks.
How does RR work?
1. Determine reading level. First, a student’s optimal reading level is
determined through the STAR Reading Enterprise assessment. This
assessment provides information on a student’s overall reading ability
and suggests a range of book levels for each student called the “zone of
proximal development”, or ZPD.
2. Set practice goals. Teachers then meet with each student to set
individualized reading practice goals and monitor progress toward those
goals.
3. Personalize practice. Personalized reading practice means students
read books of interest at their own level that they can comprehend. AR
BookFinder helps teachers, librarians, and students find just the right
book appropriate to their individual reading level and interest level.
4. Students take an AR Quiz. AR offers over 150,000 quizzes of five
types. AR Quizzes are constantly being written for both fiction and
nonfiction titles.
5. Receive instant feedback. AR provides teachers with immediate
information, helping them monitor the reading level and comprehension
skills of each student.

PROGRESS MONITORING
MAP: Measure of Academic Progress
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) creates a personalized
assessment experience by adapting to each student’s learning level.
• Measures the growth of every student over time regardless of on,
above, or below grade level performance
• Engage teachers, students and families in goal-setting
• Compare and predict student achievement and growth over time
MAP Assessment Window – September 2-30 & May 1-29
