Student of the Week
Each week, two students per grade level (one virtual and one face to face) will be selected by the staff as the student of the week based on his/her demonstration of our school’s core values of commitment, leadership, integrity, mindfulness, and balance.
CLIMB Points
All faculty and staff members are encouraged to give CLIMB points out to students who they witness being respectful, responsible and safe and meet our CLIMB core expectations. We are currently working on ways for students to use their points to “purchase” items from Base Camp.
Mighty Mustangs
The “Mighty Mustang” wall signing event occurs each nine weeks. By focusing on the five core values of our school (commitment, leadership, integrity, mindfulness, and balance) teachers are given the opportunity to recognize students for one of the five core values. Parents are invited, and students are given refreshments, in addition to a certificate and the opportunity to sign their name on a “Mighty Mustang”.
CLIMB Cards
Each month, every teacher will select 2 students to send a notecard. These cards will be mailed by the school to the students’ home addresses. Grade level chairs will be responsible for ensuring cards are collected and mailed.
Honor Roll Ceremony
The honor roll ceremony recognizes students with all A’s and B’s for each quarter. The Honor Roll ceremony will take place during the CLIMB period following the posting of grades to ParentVue. Students will receive an Honor Roll certificate and a celebration. Student names are shared on the "Honor Roll" celebration wall.
Principal’s Honor Roll
The Principal’s Honor Roll recognizes students with all A’s for each quarter. The Honor Roll ceremony will take place during the CLIMB period following the posting of grades to ParentVue. Students will receive an Honor Roll certificate as well as a celebration. Student names are shared on the "Honor Roll" celebration wall.
Wall of Honor Ceremony
8th grade students earning all A’s for each quarter during their entire 3-year middle school career, will be recognized by having the opportunity to leave their handprint on the Wall of Honor. Regardless of where a student attended school during their middle school years (6,7,8), as long as all A's have been earned, they will be honored for having made all A's on our Wall of Honor.
8th Grade Parade
The 8th grade parade is an end of the year event celebrating students moving to the high school level. This occurs on the last day of school as the students are leaving the building. Staff line the bus route and ring bells while 6th and 7th graders line the halls inside the school cheering the 8th graders as they exit the building for the final time.
