GOTCHA! Slips and Academic Stars Students also receive immediate reinforcement for positive behaviors.  Whenever a student is observed behaving in a safe, caring, and/or responsible way, he/she is given a “Gotcha!” Slip.  When a student is seen displaying a behavior that will lead to academic success, he/she earns an Academic Star.  These slips (and stars) can be used in a multitude of ways.  After students hand in the slips, they will be placed in the monthly drawing. 1 Slip = may leave 1 minute early from 9th period 10 Slips = free mini bag of popcorn 10 Slips = free homework pass (with teacher pre-approval) 20 Slips = free slushie from the cafeteria Monthly Drawings Once a month, prizes will be given away in a random drawing of “Gotcha!” Slips.  This will take place on the first Monday of each month.  When a student’s “Gotcha!” Slip is drawn, he/she will be able to choose an item from the display case.  Some items may be raffled off while others will be saved for a surprise raffle during special occasions. P.T.O. Contacts P.B.I.S. is designed to give the students more of an incentive to earn immediate rewards (such as “Gotcha!” Slips and Academic Stars) by making good behavioral and academic decisions.  After students hand in the slips, they will be placed in the monthly drawing.   If you have any questions about this program or would like more information, please contact Mr. Gordon or Mr. Relation at 483-7801 (518) 483-7801
