Student Awards
Blue Slips
The Blue Slips program encourages positive behavior on campus by rewarding students
“caught being good”. Teachers, administrators, and staff hand out blue slips to students in
grades 1-6 for positive behavior they see around campus and/or in the classroom. Teachers
collect tickets acquired during the week. At Friday Morning Assemblies, tickets for all
classes are combined into one box, approximately 15 tickets are drawn, and those students
receive a special prize.
Student of the Month
Each month, teachers of grades 1-6 nominate two (2) students to receive a “Student of the
Month” award that is presented at the Monthly Awards Assembly held the last Friday
Morning Assembly of each month. Recipients are treated to a special morning snack with
the principal in the cafeteria following the assembly. Teachers will generally notify parents
in advance if their child is going to be a Student of the Month.
Honor Roll Awards
Honor Roll Awards are presented quarterly to students who (a) have perfect attendance
during that quarter (grades 1-6); (b) are members of the “E Club” – which means they have
received a notation of “excellent” for citizenship in all of their classes for that quarter (grades
4-6); or (c) are on the Honor Roll for making a GPA of 3.0 or higher for that quarter (grades
4-6). Recipients are announced at the Awards Assembly and are treated to a special surprise.
Their names are also posted in the showcase located in the school entry hall.
Bobcat Credit Card Merit System (grades 4-6)
Students in grades 4-6 have the opportunity to earn Bobcat Cards which they wear at school
signifying that they have earned special privileges within their classroom and throughout the
school. Students earn “credit” for meeting or exceeding expectations each week. When a
student earns four (4) weeks of “credit”, he/she receives his/her grade-level credit card (4th
grade: Bobcat Blue; 5th grade: Bobcat Gold; and 6th grade: Bobcat Platinum). Every effort
is made to encourage positive behavior so that all students gain the appropriate card. Once
earned, the card must remain in the student’s possession at all times in order to gain and keep
privileges.
