We will use Class Dojo to keep track of each student (and staff) points. Each student will be sorted using the custom sorting wheel and given a bracelet with their house colors. Once students are sorted into their house, they will start earning individual house points. Every 9 weeks weeks will end with a house assembly where students who have earned their incentives will be recognized, highest point earners per house will receive a yard sign, and the house with the highest points will reign as until the following house assembly. Through the year House Families will meet to calibrate on projects, create chants for their house, and make decisions on how to help our school.
