STUDENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM

The “Hats Off to You” Student Incentive Program is designed to encourage our students to perform good deeds daily during school. When students or staff members recognize any student performing a good deed, they would complete a nomination form describing the good deed. Monthly, one primary student and one intermediate student will be chosen from the nominations provided and the students will be rewarded.
