JHMS RECOGNITION PROGRAMS

QUARTERLY RECOGNITION:

Jackson Hole Middle School

Quarterly Recognition Program

2009-2010

In an effort to promote good choices and responsible behavior JHMS is continuing their quarterly recognition program during the 09-10 school year for students who continually follow our school rules of “Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible.” At the end of each quarter an afternoon will be devoted to fun activities for students who have earned the privilege by being positive, contributing members of the student body. We are proud of the fact that most students earn this privilege.

Students who break school expectations receive points. When a student accumulates 3 points, they will not be able to attend that quarter’s program. Points are counted on a quarterly basis; each quarter is a fresh start for all students. Our intention is for this to be a learning experience. Students will accumulate points as follows for each occurrence...

PRINCIPAL'S PASS:
Teachers at the Middle School send students to the Principal's office for a particularly good grade on a hard test or difficult project. After the phone call home, students also get to pick out a small token from the prize tray. The smile on students' faces when the principal calls their parents to share the A on a particularly hard test is priceless and they walk away with the knowledge that their teacher, principal and parents appreciated their hard work.

COLT CARDS:
These cards are handed out to a student by any school employee for a wide range of behaviors; from good work on an assignment or test, to helping another student, to picking up trash in the hall without being asked! Students drop off their cards at the office, where, at the end of the week, two names from each grade level are drawn. These students are called to the office to pick up their prize.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH: A monthly recognition of students by grade level teachers:
SIXTH GRADE COLT KIDS Students are noted for their hard work, positive attitude, and respectful behavior towards others. Each team of teachers selects four kids who will receive a certificate, Colt t-shirt and a movie pass.
SEVENTH GRADE STUDENT OF THE MONTH The criteria for being a Seventh Grade Student of the Month is the same as in sixth grade, but these students are awarded with a lunch at a local restaurant. Each teacher selects one student.
ROTARY STUDENT OF THE MONTH recognizes two students each month. One student is selected by all eighth grade teachers for their academic achievement, and one student is chosen by the fine and performing arts teachers for their artistic achievement. These students and their families are invited to the Rotary Breakfast where the students will give a speech.
