Our new student recognition program is recognizing students for being caught demonstrating the positive dispositions that we promote at GMS. The month of January celebrated hard work and perseverance. When teachers see a student exhibiting this trait, they submit a HOWL form and at the next Wolf Pack Gathering, those students are recognized, receive a certificate that indicates what the teacher noticed and get put into a drawing for a gift card.
So far, we have recognized students for positivity, respect, self-advocacy, and being a team-player/collaborator.
Coming up:
February- Kindness
March- School Spirit
April- Growth and Achievement
May- Leadership
With the "HOWL Back!" program, students and teachers can recognize members of the faculty and staff who exhibit the theme of the month. Those adults receive the anonymous certificate with what their student or colleague wrote about them.
