The Agenda Book Program: Process for Documenting Academic and Behavioral Performance. If a student does not meet the academic/behavioral goals listed above, they will receive a letter A or B in red ink in their agenda book. No homework, incomplete classwork, being unprepared, etc. are designated as academic marks ( A ). Minor insubordination, inappropriate language, harassment, uniform violation, technology violation, disruption and chewing gum are designated as behavior marks ( B ). If a student receives two (2) letter marks per day they will receive an office detention the following day. Detentions are held Monday-Thursday, so any detentions that result as marks given on Thursday or Friday will occur on the following Monday. Detention will be served from 2:50-3:20pm in the Health room (107).
If a student does not receive any letter marks in a day they will earn a thumbs up in their agenda book during last period. If a student receives 80% or more days of thumbs up they will be eligible for any PBIS reward trips or special school activities (Hershey Park, field day, etc.).
