Hornets Unite!
The theme of our district-wide character education program for the 2018-2019 school year is Hornets Unite. The theme is present in our Daily Dose of Character via our intercom and video announcements, Second Step & Steps to Respect lessons each week, within our units of study for the year, through the student work, teacher bulletin boards, and murals displayed in our hallways and classrooms. The following character traits are emphasized throughout the year: Respect, Kindness, Integrity, Responsibility, Acceptance and Perseverance. The importance of having great character is exemplified in our HORNETS’ Code of Conduct and through our Bee Your Best, Cash in on Good Character, and Buzzworthy Student Recognition programs. Our students and staff members try their best to share the magic of having great character every day!
At EGTS, we are UNITED in exemplifying EXCELLENT CHARACTER every day! |
"Bee" Your BestOur “Bee” Your Best Program at Jeffrey Clark School highlights students who demonstrate safe, responsible, and respectful behavior, as well as students who are truly and consistently giving their best. Staff members participate in the program by honoring these students with a “Bee”cut-out. The student’s name and homeroom is listed on the bee and the bee is placed into a grade level bin. Two bees are then drawn weekly from each grade level bin and students whose bees are selected receive a prize. The bees that are in each grade level bin are then transferred into a school wide container and once the container is filled, the whole school earns a reward activity. We are proud of our students for making a daily effort to "Bee their Best!"

"Cash in" on CharacterOur “Cash in on Good Character” Program at Samuel Mickle highlights students who are demonstrating positive behavior connected to our district-wide character traits: Respect, Kindness, Responsibility, Acceptance, Integrity, and Perseverance. Staff members honor students who demonstrate these traits on a consistent basis with “Buzz Bucks”. Students write their name on the back of the Buzz Bucks and place them into their homeroom “Buzz Bank”. Homeroom teachers choose one buzz buck weekly and that student receives a reward incentive provided by the homeroom teacher. On the last day of the month, homeroom teachers choose one buzz buck from their banks and that student is rewarded with a “Hive Prize” from the principal. The Buzz Bucks are then transferred to a school wide Buzz Bank and the whole school receives a reward activity when we meet our goals. We are proud of our students for "Cashing in on Good Character!"
