The Howl-A-palooza incentive program is designed to provide positive recognition to students in the areas of attendance, behavior, and achievement. The Howl-A-palooza guidelines are as follows:

* No more than two absences, tardies, or early outs during the six week period. Exception: If a student misses three or more consecutive days, he or   she MAY be exempted if a parent provides a doctor's note to the principal. The exemption may only be used once per student.

* No behavior problems

* 90% of homework completed

* 90% of classwork completed to the best of the student's ability

At the end of each six-week period, students who qualify will receive a laminated "Howl-a-palooza" tag. They will also get to participate in the Howl-a-palooza activity for that period.

Standard 3:   Greet visitors, and always make them feel welcome. This includes community members, parents, and guest teachers.

Standard 4:   Always remember to say "thank you" when someone gives you something.

Standard 5:   You should recognize the accomplishments of others, and congratulate them for their achievements.

Standard 6:   Please do not litter on our campus, or allow trash to remain on the ground or floor.

Standard 7:   Give your best effort to be as organized as possible.
